Detritus
Yes, I have another problem. This one not as severe.
My tank is full of detritus. I don't have a high
fishload. I don't overfeed. My micro tenellus is
doing well but gets "filled" to the top with dirt
within about 3 days after I vacuum. My Christmas moss
is just heavily laden with dirt no matter how often I
clean it (and crappy looking too, as it seems my SAEs
are eating it).
I have 2 Duetto internal filters that both do 50gph.
They clog constantly and I clean each of them out
_every week_.
I do water changes every week or two (10 gallons of
30) and remove lots of dirt with my siphon. I am
thinking about getting an Eheim (2213 or 2222
professional) as a replacement for filtration and as a
co2 reactor. Is the professional worth another 30
bucks? I like the idea of having media baskets. Is
the ECCO that bad? Why? I looked in the archives for
this but didn't find much. Is it even a filtration
thing at all?
Thanks, Cavan (swamped with dirt in Pittsburgh)
