FreakShow Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I am currently running the first and second chamber of a 12 NC DX with rubble and Chaeto. When I change water once a week, I pull out the Chaeto and rinse it with the tank water, trim it if it’s getting too big. I vacuum out the debris from the main tank area, I'm BB, so this is easy. I try to get up under the aquascaping where I can. After the cleaning the tank looks spectacular, crystal clean. Then I start to add the new water. I usually add it by slowly pouring it into one of the back chambers. When I turn the pumps back on they spit out untold clouds of sh*t. The water is cloudy but it all quickly settles on the bottom and across all of the coral! It looks like it just snowed in there, like I hadn't cleaned the tank in months! I figure its coming out of the rock rubble. I started to stick the siphon down into those chambers and pulled out a lot of detritus but it doesn't seem to help. Any thoughts? Link to comment
