I think I killed half on my bacteria.... Here is what I did.. I put a new filter (lay over top of bio balls) in my wet dry tank.. Girl at the fish store said I would filter better than what I had..(a carbon mesh screen) so I put it in and thought great.. more filter.... NOT SO..... I checked my water today and all my levels were way up...... So I started checking... well come to find out, this new filter media does do good.. that half my bio balls were DRY..... seems as though the water flow thru it actually made like a funnel of sorts and directed the water to the middle and all the balls on the out lying areas had dried out...... On these wet dry system.. are the balls suppose to be submerged in water or just the water flowing over it.... because the way it is now, the balls are suspended above the sump area..... one thing I think added to my high levels... I took out all that coral and added new rock.... I am sure a lot of the bateria was growing on that rock...
am I correct in thinking this is why my levels went up.... I have not added any fish... and everything was pretty much normal.... will that bateria that dried out re-start.... or are we a square one?
