Let me add to the mystery. You started doing hypo you removed your LR so now you add water to your system to take the place of the displaced displaced water when you had the rocks in your tank. Thus adding more dilution to your system. Let’s for a minute say you had NO bio filtration going on...

FYI you dont have to keep a clam on the bottom of your tank
