Hey all few years back 4-5 years ago. I got my first saltwater tank grabbed it off someone on craigslist they broke it down and came over to help set it back up as i had no clue what i was doing.
Tldr; I did no water changes for a couple years just topped off with ro i got down too two fish, a red slime break out and my protein skimmer pump died. So i decided to get back in the hobby found brs made a ton of videos. Thanks to this I got the tank back up and running ok not good yet...
My Sump is a pro clear aquatic wet/dry but the bioballs stay submerged not sure if a baffle broke or not but its been like this for 3+ years.
I also have a ton of detritus in the bioballs section that ive been slowly taking out with water changes (Prefer to vacuum the sand then the sump
) .
The sump just bothers me i know bio balls are useless but the fact mine are submerged makes me feel a bit more off. not sure what route to go.
some pics of my tank attached.
