Okay, but I'm gone for as long as 4 weeks at a time, not just a few. If I could be guaranteed that there is no chance that the return pump strainer wouldn't get clogged with macro in that time, then ya, I'd do it. But that's a risk I'm not willing to take. Believe me, I've thought of doing a fuge before. Would love to do it. It's just too risky. (And in case you might be wonderin' "Well the guy's Discus tank is planted. Don't strainers get clogged in that tank?" The two 404 canisters I have on that tank are plumbed onto a UG filter and the fluidized has a pre filter foam on the powerhead, so there's no strainers to clog.)

Cheers,
