    Well totally re-did my fuge/sump. Have 1 drain full blast to sump, 2nd drain slow drain to fuge. Curious now since the reason I re-did it due to the fact bunch of food would get into my fuge and just stay there and decay. What type of invertebrates should I put in my sump to take out the food and enjoy the fuge area. Help a fellow reefer out and let me know cuz I dont want this problem happening again!

    i think if your getting food in your fuge you might be feeding to much.


    If any thing some hermits would do the trick,or even a small damsel, i have a couple damsels living in my sump

    ya its not homemade food, its my damn nori. My tang gets the idea to rip it to shreds at once and then eat it as it floats around the tank. The nori strips make there way down to the fuge. I never thought about a damsel into the sump would do the trick but they would prolly tear it up with 2 hermits.

    You might want to try turning off your return pump when it's feeding time.
