Default Ah.. MORE filter woes.. and cleaning out filter questions....

Cool.. that explanation lets me kno wit' snot just me, but the filters
were
so thick with muck, that it just took longer here. Might pick up some of
that vinyl door screening. it's pretty cheap if I recall.. do you have it
stretched on a frame of some kind?

Just wadded up in crinkled folds. I have to use some hardware cloth to
hold
it down so it doesn't float into the bulkheads.


I'm suspecting it's finer, so catches smaller particles?

Today I just enjoyed what visibility I had, and fed the fish,, they are
eating like monsters now!


That is WONDERFUL, well... the visibility, I'm a little worried about your
monster-like fish appetites. ;-) ~ jan


They are eating like a full 16 oz cup of food daily.. course there are about
40-50 of them now, and if I don't feed them, they just hack away at the
plants.

We still need to cull the 5 or 10 biggest out, and take them down to the
local aquarium for credit. We've kind of lost interest in the inside
aquarium, so not sure what we'll do with the credit there. Might look into
converting our indoor tank into salt water, so we can have seahorses....
