You might try a product called Purple-Up. But like the previous post says, first, there must be some present in your tank. Most people get it buy buying live rock that already hasit growing. Another way to get it is to go to and buy some of their Grunge. Good luck!]] and buy some of their...

I just got rid of 4 inches of cc in my 120. OMG was there a LOT of detritus!! I had bad problems with high Nitrates and I finally know why. The Nitrates are now about 20 ppm and coming down. Over many years, the cc can become a mess.
