That's exactly what I do. My sump is under the tank so it is easy for me to do. The big advantage of this over turkey basting is it doesn't cloud the water. I have also done a combination of this with basting. The siphon hose catches what the turkey baster blows out of the rock and sucks up the debris before it clouds the tank. Since this method doesn't remove any water from the tank there is no limit on how much filtering you can do. Last edited by Brent F; 02-25-2008 at 05:57 PM. |

Nice.. Doing this by the pail full could be like work. But I guess I could set up a pump and push it into the sump. |

![]() I highly recommend the use of filter socks cleaned out regularly on the overflow from the tank to the sump, usually placed in the sump above the waterline of the sump. lets waste be collected before it has a chance to decompose and pollute the water.

![]() I do over feed. I know I do. But I have a purple tang that will give my open brain a peck (sorta like a warning ) If I don't keep him fed.

But ZEOvit is a low-nutrient system that many, many people (including many on this forum) are using successfully! I'm using it myself, and my corals are very healthy. www.zeovit.com |
