    Filter media cup overflowing.

    That is what I am feeling right now - that the water if being forced through which in turn is causing my filtration to be less than effective. How did you mount your cup holders? Do you have a picture? Homemade or bought similar to the link I provided?

    I wonder if I pulled that box out and put two of these in (Four Inch Holder) it would be better.. What do you think?

    Filter media cup overflowing.

    Filter media cup overflowing.

    I have a gate valve on the return from the overflow. I am not sure I'd want one coming out of the return pump.. would put some serious flow restrictions and I would not get the flow from the pump i'd like.

    Frag tank water clarity

    I added chemi pure blue tonight - we'll see how the carbon helps out. I don't even run a skimmer anymore on my 30 AIO as it was removing too many nitrates. It's now in the off position and my nitrates are at a much more acceptable level. The egg crates are a pain.. I need to look into making...

    Frag tank water clarity

    Frag tank water clarity

    My frag rack is ~2 inches above the bottom.. so I can't really position it under. I do have one pointed at the bottom though. I ordered chemi pure blue... what type of complications are we talking about?
