Having a little bit of detritus floating around and some micro bubbles in the display. No big deal, why not try some micron filter bags to slip over the overflows where they discharge into the sump. For such a little thing thought skip the e-tailer thing and heard available locally anyway so go to the LFS. Employee guy asks what I'm looking for, I tell him, he points out some course bags for media, I say looking for something a little finer about 100 microns and explain what for again.

Down hill from there. I heard I'm wreaking my pump, I must have mechanical, chemical and biological filtration, He's pointing out I need this, I need that, seemed totally amazed I didn't have a trickle filter and what!!! no bio balls.

Left there and dropped a note to OA. Hey, I did try to support my LFS.

micron bags arent very popular in canada, i think the only place that sells them is OA. im not suprised that your lfs had no clue what they were.

btw the micron bags your looking for are probably 50 micons :P

It's one thing not to know what I'm talking about, it's another to go off on me, tell me I don't know what I'm doing then try to sell me what I don't need or want.

No LFS name mentioned in post.

No obvious angste either.

Looks more like an experience than a bash IMO.
