    after reading the white poop thread, i notice his poop is sticking to sponge filter. nothing sticks to mine. i wonder if this is because im doing daily changes or maybe my pump isnt strong enough.

    yes i fed just before wc and usually remove what floats to top. the remainder sticks to glass as water level goes down then i wipe the glass to remove it. thinking im gonna go get a stronger pump

    I use a hydro farm air pump for my airstone. Quietest pump I have used and love the large adjustment knob. They come in a variety of different number of outlets.

    I use the 2 outlet one

    So I got it up all on the stand looks good set up the fx6 and I was not happy with my output. Not enough flow getting through the background. Plus I never thought the holes through very well I drilled them pointing down thinking I wanted to hide them but not thinking that the flow would just be going down. Having a good output is more important than hiding my intake and outtake behind the background so I gave up on that moved everything to the front got some great flow going. So thats it. the adventure is over.
    And for my new adventure.....
