Same here. I used to use the mesh ones. Pretty much useless. I switched the felt and it made a big difference. I did that and pulled of the rock rubble out of my sump. It's was a serious detritus trap. Withing a few weeks I finally got my po4 and no3 to undetectable levels. Things started to...
Well soon after I joined the forum we all know what happened. My tank made it through the storm. Thank god I had a genny. Then life got in the way so I've had no time to get online but now I'm back and plann on being more active so I become more involved in the local reefing community. Ill throw...
