Hey all, I have a 250g bare bottom tank. The tank itself is old and has 2, 2 inch PVC pipe overflows.
The tank has good flow, but when I blast the rock I get A LOT of detritus floating around the tank. The issue I have is that because of the small overflow tubes, I think most of the detritus that I blow off the rocks just settles back down before getting sucked into the sump.
I am looking for a way to filter the detritus out of the water after I blow off the rocks. I only need to do this once every week or two. So I'm thinking some way to clean a large volume of water in a short time where the water can be pulled from the main body of the tank rather than the detritus needing to float to the top to find a small pipe to be exported.
Ideas?
