I have recently upgraded to a MarineLand 180 RR with dual overflow.
I have had it setup and running for over 2 months.

Over the past week or two I had all of the white eggs (not sure if it is from snails or pods) all over the glass.
I cleaned them off and now I can't get them to go away. (now the overflow and stop swirling around the water column)

Over the past few days I have been moving the powerheads around trying to get the debris to go down the overflow but have not had any luck yet.

I have 3 powerheads (2x 1200gph and 1x 500 gph)
My return from the sump is pushing 600 gph which is roughly 3x turnover per hour.

It is just driving me nuts looking at the stuff floating around.

Any tips or advice on how to get this stuff out?

(note I did move my powerheads closer to the bottom of the tank and pointed them up before leaving for work today. Fingers crossed it will look a little better when I get home today).

  • None! My inverts are model citizens. :-)
