Well I have the JBJ 28 set with RO/DI water, sand, and aquascape. NOTE sand and rock were both dry. I have both pumps/returns on and running, I have my heater warming water up to 78 degrees and for right now I have a air stone running also. My plan is to double check the salinity and temperature over the next 24 to 48 hours before starting the cycle process at which time I will remove the air stone. Does this sound reasonable?
I have a question on the filter. I only have the sponge in the filter compartment BUT I have cut 100 micron filter pad on the top and bottom of the sponge to pick up and fine silt. As this is the first I have had the filter running I notice the water runs over and thru, I assume, the pad and sponge. Have I over filled the tank or is this normal for the water to run over the sponge/filter?
