DT is clean and beautiful , clean glass daily/every other.
Frag tank... gets brown/red slimy algae on glass, racks, frag plugs, loc lines, nem box , rock etc..

Is the flow in your frag tank the same as your DT?
Good question
DT 5 mp40s and return Lines also offer decent flow

Frag tank,,,,, 10 days ago, I removed 4x mj600's and replaced with 1 tunze osmolater

The return is a bit slower in frag tank as well

My turbo snails in frag are getting hairy algieri on them
