Troylee,
nice work!!! After 4 years now for the last 6 months I get Cyanoe on my Cheatoe in the fuge area, I even added PH in there for mor surface agitation, all the return water hase to flow through that area. I have some Cheatoe in area where my tank drains into and I get no Cyanoe on that batch, any thoughts?

 

[Troylee]

there is more flow prolly where your tank is draining.... my first tank i had, the flow threw the sump was like 500gph and it did the same thing on me...since then i have ran all high flow sumps 2000+ gph and never had a problem since.how often are you cleaning the detrius from the sump and do you ever clean your chateo??? i took mine out one time and dipped it in some tank water from a wc. and it was completly full of detrius prolly another problem your having, swish it around in a bucket and see what happens...

Agreed! You'd make a killing in So. Cal, the go to guy here has really been dropping the ball according to a few recent threads Ive read..


You could take orders and have a once a month delivery day, it might be worth the drive
