thanks . Yeah I've found when the detritus is kept under control lots of problems are solved. I kept all 4 sides open too so that I can get all the way around with a magnet cleaner, even the back. Tomorrow I'm going to see how it goes siphoning detritus from the bottom into a filter sock. I think it'll work well and will allow me to do it without changing any water. Just don't know how to hang the sock on the bucket

Yeah I probably won't have cash on hand to buy an RS80 before they're gone unfortunately.
