I think you just aren’t very good at this

What’s with the bottom? Are there tiles ?

Go SLOW. Water changes and small amounts of lanthanum chloride into the skimmer to start

Welcome home. What’s the new tank (going to be?) like?

Looks good, welcome!

Why would we assume it accumulated and wasn’t just like that the whole time?

I don’t think you understand. Look into it and then ask if you have questions. I’m not smart enough to do the fancy links where you just click on it, but @derek_SR has a very detailed thread about it I bet you can find on here.

How did it “not work” for you. How did you use it?

I’d look into dosing lanthanum chloride into the skimmer to reduce phosphate. Nitrate isnt too terrible to me and should come down enough with water changes

No socks. No floss. Skim. Change water.

Does anyone know what this is or why it is doing what it is?

I would guess part of it was most of the aiptasia it could get to were consumed. These were not in my home tanks ever, but clients tanks. Usually I utilize autofeeders with pellets, and rely on the client to feed frozen. So sometimes it’s a bit of a mystery how much they are really eating that...

Amount, also quality and type of food probably. Likely also helps for them to have other things to pick at in the tank.

I have found they don’t eliminate aiptasia completely (not sure anything really will) I found they tend to leave little bits behind that regrow. Not sure if it’s on purpose to maintain food supply, or just part of the aiptasia magic act. Also, there are often little ones p km aces they can’t...

Looks like cyano to me. Not bubble algae Have you tested nitrate/phosphate?
