Thank you hybridazn. I know I am probably pushing it. But I do that with everything to see how long it will function correctly. Yes, its ugly brown, but still flowing well! I am pretty sure I can get 5 days out of it, then throw it in the washing machine and wash it. I carbon dose my system, so I know it will consume it. Maybe tomorrow I will change it out! I will post some pics tomorrow......................WITH THE NEW BLADE LIGHT! And my refugium all prettied up!PICS! Lol
But for the socks I would change out every 3 days or so. Dont wait for it to clog. Once it turns that nasty brown color I would swap it out for a clean one.
I don't think it would matter because the chamber below the lid is open to atmosphere.Hmmm, I wonder if a vent would help.......
Mine has warped as well I have to flip the lid over to warp it back lolI have the R100 as well. Really liking it so far with the exception of the lid for the sock area.. it warps.
Could you put a filter sock or something on the outlet tube of the skimmer to catch the bubbles? I would rather do that than put something to block flow thru the sumpJust adding my experience with the Eshopps gen3 r-200 here at it's nearly the exact same setup, only a little larger and two inlets. I was getting some micro-bubbles returning into the DT due to having the protein skimmer in the 3rd chamber, but now that it's a little more broken in that is down to nearly 0. I considered adding a little filter floss to the return gate from chamber 3 to 4 and I will try it out if the bubbles ever return.
Thanks so much cause I actually just purchased the same sump as you and I'm just trying to figure out what I want to use in the fuge and which types of macro algae my only concern is a possible small cycle period if I add fresh live sandSteve,
Hi and thanks for posting! Nothing yet. Just a bag of ceramic bio media in my refugium. I am going to be working on it tonight. I have good live rock and rubble in another tank. I do like bioballs very much and my overflow is loaded with them to the top. They provide a huge surface area for bacteria, and that's what my carbon dosed tank needed.
I originally was going to fill the refugium with bio balls, but that is pretty boring for sure.
I have decided to spics it up a bit, and may add some sort of algae in the refugium. Just to try and stabilize the system further with the fuge light running at night.
