I snuck a peek at my scrubber, and I am amazed the difference that just upping the flow has created. I harvested 4 days ago and it is already at about double the growth level that it was. This is...

I have found that putting the rocks into a solution of hydrogen peroxide kills basically anything on them. The problem of course is that my bacteria load with no live rock in the tank will be very...

Is that the aqueon proflex model 2 sump? It looks just like mine and I am running into the same issues with light placement etc. How did you get it resolved?
