Hey Brad, i have the answer for you!! Ok, when i used to clean and siphon out the fish only system at progressive reef, i would get the big brute, siphon into the brute, then get the freshwater aquarium micron filter (progressive growth has a couple still) and the pump and pump water out of the brute through the filter and back to the tanks...voila crystal clear water and one hell of a yucky dirty filter media spongey thingy (looks like an acordian).
I am off tomorrow and was heading by there anyway, i will bug the guys to help me dig it out of the shed. ttyl
