Day 27 - Tuesday July 24th - Around 11pm

- I came back from work to find out that the tank was all white with bubbles. The water went so low in the filter chamber and both pumps were just pumping air... I cleant the mechanical filters again and finally did what apparently all RSM owner do: cut the black foam piece in half. I also had to clean the hood, covered with salt from the bubbles...

- Green hair algea is still growing amazingly fast. Even growing on the shells of the snails... GHA respects nothing at all.

- No "pods" at all.

- My previously sick snails are sick again - three of them almost not moving at all. I tested nitrites again and got a 0.1ppm reading, bad bad bad...

- I will follow GDEsquire advice and do the cleaning followed by 30% "massive" water change tomorrow. I am a bit concerned about introducing more snails if they are all going to die due to very low water quality...
