cant seem to get rid of it.
cleaned my rocks. added even more flow. nitrates are at .5 tank is 150 gal. RR with sump. I run carbon and phosban changing every 1 1/2 weeks. cal.430. mag 1400. kh 10.
pH 8.4 phos. 0 but we all know that's almost impossible to detect with these test kits.
Tank is 3...
Just thought I'd let you know my experience with this sump.
Don't like it. skimmer never really works properly.
Hard to eliminate bubbles going to display tank.
Noisy.
Still running it but looking to build my own soon.
Also not a lot of room for water when the power goes off.
sorry for my bad...
after doing against the back and building it up I discovered a lot of dead spots where its hard to clean. I have since opened up areas revealing more sand and a much better flow and am much happier with the results.
I decided against the use of this after extensive reading this product is more for red bugs. The flat worms I have are the clear ones you see on the glass not the red acro eating ones. however I have lost all my acros over time and was blaming it on the worms.I took out some rock and increased...
I'm about to use interceptor I got from my vet
He gave me tabs for large dogs 55-100 lbs. 36 mg. should I dissolve the whole tab in ro water and add it to the sump or display in high flow area?

most people have built a refugium section in their sumps.
I added one above the display fed by my main pump and gravity fed back into main...
not to be negative with what others are experimenting cause Ive done it too but I'm done with spending hundreds of dollars on all these products.
going back to basic dosing and frequent cleaning/water changes. Am I the only one tired of this process?
I switched to brightwell. about 3 months now. mixes up fast never had a brown mix issue nice thing also I dont have to add extra to get to 26 reading. and price is right.
use to be a recomendation 3-5 lbs per gal. somthing like that. after 2 yrs. of too much rock and too many dead spots (even with a ton of flow) I took out all my rocks and cleaned them and the sand bed. What a mess. then I raised the rocks off the sand bed and left 40 or so lbs out. It's like a...
I really like the marineland emperor filters for fresh water. I tried them on salt and they are messy with salt creep. can you put the canister off to one side instead of under tank? Everyone here is trying to give you advise on the best way to set up so you don't waste your money and have to...
I'm considering getting a female for the male here is why.
I used to raise cichlids and whenever a female is introduced the male would color up like twice as much as normal. although I don't expect them to mate (possible) was wondering if those who have a pair have experienced this.
