Daniel, I just wanted to thank you for your suggestion about the filter wool. I received mine and cut out circular pieces as my sump has those darn sock cut outs. I place these over the socks and they are catching the debris. It’s not even getting through to the socks (which I hate cleaning). I was going to layer them, but I just rinse out the one on top and I love it! It’s working great and traps stuff better. The best part is it’s so cheap compared to some of the other stuff I read about, like the newest now/wow thing for $500. I, and my wallet are much happier with this easy tried and true method.
I also enhanced my biological filtration and bought some biohome for the next section which it’s so much cleaner now. It’ll take some time for that to work it’s magic, but my fish looks so much better already. You are the bomb.com! Thank you so much!
Patty
