Sugar?

Well, what can I say, I gave it a try. I took a pinch of sugar, less than 1/8 teaspoon, and put it into the tank to try to lower my nitrates. No such luck, but the timers not done. Also found a couple of places where some food had built up and part of a dead hermit crab I had pulled out. Also enjoying feeding my shrimp by hand already. I gotta get another if I can sneak it past the wife. Been taking pics once every couple days or so. Will post them to compare the algae growth. Seeing some more green algae growing with the purple so it looks nice. Not seeing much change in the light purple algae growth tho.

Timers up.
