oceanic

looks good. i'm assuming that its an oceanic which im going to get started with soon.

in the back, at the bottom of the third (return) baffle, there's a slot for a sponge. do you use that sponge? looks like it might just be a detritus trap.

i do, its actually the first section that is a detritus trap. you need to pull out the fake shelf they have in the first section so flow can get in there and filter it. the second section also has it as well if you wanted to pull that.


nice off to a good start.

i like what you got going there. just make sure the gsp doesnt find its way to your rocks. because once it gets on you will never get it off and it will grow over everything. unless thats what you want which is totally fine. im just giving you the heads up because thats what happened to me and i ended up getting rid of some of my gps covered lr because i couldnt put anything else on it

 

[bignick]

Thanks. I know it looks like its touching the rock but its at least 3 inches away on a single flat piece of lr

as far as the sponges go, I find it a lot easier to just put polyfil filter floss in the chamber, that way when detritus builds up you can just toss it and you don't have to worry about cleaning. Since you have the skimmer, I don't think you really need any extra media back there aside from carbon.

 

[bignick]

You just let the filter floss float in chamber 1 at the top?
