    uhhh... that's a new one for me... I agree with Greg, another 20-30% waterchange, run carbon, and turn your skimmer up for some wetter skimmate in the collection cup.
    There's nowhere else I'ld rather be... unless, of course, you're buying

    yeah repto, never ran into that before either, I have heard of a guy whose daughter dumped a cup full of sugar in a tank and he did the same thing and everything was allright.
