thanks j
i have no
fuge setup on the system its a simple glass 24" x12"x16" tank and the idea of water going out and in the tank scares me, if it can spring a leak it will for me.thus all my equipment is internal
will have to implement the tube atatched method,i have been using a tooth brush and putting a quick filter atachment on one of the powerheads, with floss in, for an hour after scrubbing at it to catch up all the undesirables
but im sure your method gets more out and away from the system
will keep battling its just a few stubborn areas that wont seem to go it came with the so called
live rock "it stank real bad when it arrived" being new to salt i didnt scrub it off for fear of killing all the hitchikers off. the rock was covered in them, they of course mostly all died off in the curing process anyhow leaving the hair algae raring to go and well fed
reef on.
