flow in sump
 
so i have a question how much flow are you running in your sump i got a 75 gallon sump about half full of water got a couple koralia 1 in there as that is what i had lying around seem to be a bit smelly the odd time could be the skimmer or filter sock just wonder if the stagnant water could also be an issue i guess i should mention 250 total water volume 2200 gph return pump

Theres about 4000gph going though my 100gal(actual volume) sump.

how often do you clean the sock ?

BlueTang<3 11-27-2009 03:12 AM

sock
 
well i guess i should mention the sock gets changed daily the skimmer gets emptied daily as tank shared wall in bedroom living room so i try to keep it as clean as possible

through my 75g sump is around 1000gph, sock changed about once a week, every few days the skimmer. No bad smells
