just a quick question

You have great points, but you would be surprised what corals can handle. They are not as delicate as you may think they are. Luna

 

thnx for the info

 

I turn off my pumps, take from the DT, turn on my pumps and add to the sump.

 

One caveat, every say...3-4 mos. some of us drain (or nearly) the sump and clean out any crud that is in it.

 

I did that yesterday, instead of physically removing everything to clean it out I used a small pump with hose attached to suck up all the water from the sump. It worked very well and I didn't have to move the sump at all.

 

This is exactly how I do it... My sump by the way seems to be another breeding ground for pods... So I never cleaned mine. I threw in a bunch of rock rubble in the sump as well as in my fuge...
