sorry Jan I shoulda specified it was upflow there was some dietrus
under the pillow but most of the "black Mud" was on top
was wondering if maybe I plumbedd the outflow into the tank wrong to
cause the "reversal" of deposit the pillow had been in the filter for I
think three weeks, I only noticed the buildup as I had partialy drained
it to install the fine filter mat to catch the dead phyloalgae it
wasn't clogged by any means so I Just thought, if maybe Im pushing the
water through it too fast and it doesnt have time to settle and is being
forced throuh the pillow ( I'm using a 3600 gph mag drive on this )and
its a 150 g stock tank and is settling on top as that is wher the water
is slower John R


Yup, that's probably what is going on. ~ jan
