I notice alot of "dirt and dust" coming out the the rock. Is this normal? I vacuum it up and more comes in... I think that is what is getting my water not quite clear enough.

No skimmer, no sump, no ozone, no carbon. 2 x 175w MH with PC actinics. Weekly maintenance, 15% water change, lots of crud siphoned from the bottom, too. I don't understand why folks' water isn't clear?
They want the crystal clear only ozone seems to give, mine is immaculate so i thought...when i saw a few ozone in use tanks, well it was a difference in clarity for sure.

We baste our rock every week before siphoning out the crud from the bottom. Lots of crud comes off the rock. After watching how much snails poop while making videos of them, I think it is snail and other poop that gets stuck in rock crevices.

I agree that ozone does give the absolute best sparkling water clarity and maybe I just LittleSilverMax to give me ozone lessons. It still scares the crap out of me. I know that if I did I would go with a specific ozone reactor chamber and not run it through my skimmer - not so much that I don't think it can and does work with a skimmer, it's just that I believe it is hard on the equipment and I don't want to risk the integrity or quality of one of my large skimmers.:mrgreen:
