Paul, the sponge filter is on the outside and of the unit. The part that goes in the bucket is where you can see it. Wwhich is why I am a bit concerned in using it to clean the sump.
This is what I have. The sponge filter is on the outside of the part that goes on the bucket...
Sid, they are felt but they are old so some don't last as long and the water overflows out into the sump. I try to keep up changing the socks as I have 8. Even bleach cleaning in the washer doesn't help the bad ones.
I noticed much dirt in sump and want to clean it out. Last time I drained the sump and used paper towels and a small toy shovel to get the dirt out. I know have a bucket topper wet vac and am wondering if I can use it to vacuum out the dirt. There is a sponge pad on the wet vac so do I leave...
I have a Corallife 48" Power Compact 4 bulb light fixture for sale.
Asking $30 OBO. Will trade let me know what you have.
It currently has 2 65w actinic bulbs and 1 96w 10k.
One of actinics needs to be replaced. The other is 9 months old.
The 10k is close to a year.
Thanks for looking,
Mark
The past few months my toadstool sheds and then polyps come out. It does this every month for about 6 months now. I thought they did this to grow but mine seems to be shrinking in diameter. Was about 7" and now 5". Anyone know what is going?
I really cannot complain; so far I like them a lot. The stock actinic could be a little bluer but I plan to swap them out.
I will try and get pics of the actinic and led lights later tonight and post.
Nice meeting you guys. Thank you for the tangs and urchins.
Sadly, the Sailfin didn't survive. when I got home it wasn't breathing so I put it in bucket with an airstone for an hour but never revived and turned black.
Here is pic of the light on the tank. Only thing is the vent/fan are on the sides so placed it on top for now. Barely fits and need to extend the ledge to make it secure or figure something else out. Yes, I have the legs but wife likes the canopy look so need to keep it.
Just picked up the fixture. Guy said that original unit had a bad led light and since under warranty requested a new unit. Also, said was purchased at Trop which is nice to know since they are sponsor and well recognized.
All I have is the guys word. No way to be sure if it was repaired or not.
How would a repair differ from buying a used fixture? Maybe no problems with original owner but you buy it and have problems.
