3. Tape a white paper to the outside of your tank and notice the yellow water. Place some washed charcoal in the water flow and remove when the yellow clears up.

And with the money you save, buy your self one of those beautiful Aussi LPS.
I have 4 filter socks, i go through all of them in about 1.5 weeks and wash them together. What do you mean about the pods? how do i see them and how do i put them back?

also i do have a oil slick somtimes at the top of the tank, so whats a pie plate?

i think i should get someone to come by and look at my tank to make sure im not losing my mind about the particles.
