I'm sure that it is not normal for the air to be in there, if the unit is sealed properly where would it come from, what do you think ? As a note I've been sent a new canister, o-ring and mounting plate with no change.

If the are gets lower then it is now I usually bleed it so not as much air goes through the booster pump. After I bleed mine their wont be any air in it till I change either the carbon or a sediment filter. Mine still sometimes runs really loud though even when there is no air in it.

Wow that was a quick set up... Wish mine could go that fast.
Do you find you have any problems with the bare bottom?
Tank looks great.

I like the barebottom I have never had any problems with it. It is very easy to clean and you dont have to worry about sand storms.

Well I thought I would give everyone an update on my tank. I have been battling a brown cyno/algea outbreak for the last 2 months. I just couldnt get rid of it for the longest time so I switched salts to reefers best and after the first water change the algea was pretty much gone and now 2 weeks later it is completely gone. The water had some stuff floating around in it because I moved a rock to save a frag that fell off its rock.
Here is a full tank shot I dont know why but the rock work always looks really bright in pictures.

Here is a couple pictures of my Powder blue tang

And here is a picture of the 2 frags I picked up at fragfest today.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I am looking for tons of colorful sps frags to fill my tank with, so if you have some for sale let me know.
