I can tell u know being a former carpet installer your carpet in that area is fried bro. The backing that the carpet is weaved into breaks down very easy when wet and if it got soaked and sat there for days and dried on its own can almost guarentee the backing is shredded.

Hey Dude it was nice meeting you at the Critter on Monday night ... it that what you bought there , the fish?

Your algae scrubber looks great I might have to get your advice on how to build one once I get my stand and sump built.

If ur going.to use an algae scrubber its best to build ur sump around it. Come check out my sump and scrubber.

Really. Why?

Cause out of the many pellets one the market he is the only one that tells you were they come from, who makes them, what was the process to get them made, and they are marine certified and biodegradable. Plus I have not seen a bad product from dr tim ever.
 
Got my ATO, kalk reactor, chiller and controller with wifi up and running.

Thing I still have to do.
1.Air injection
2.Calcium reactor
3.co2 scrubber with the outlet dumping into a small bucket on my sump with and air stone
4.vent for skimmer
5.route the skimmer air intake outside
