How often do you clean the sponge on your skimmer? It can get clogged pretty quickly and provide a home for nitrate producing bacteria which isn't optimal. You should probably give it a thorough...

Hmm the last time I was in there they sold it by a full piece or a half piece ("cuz once its cut its hard to sell"). Maybe I need to be male :confused: :razz:

I'm of the understanding that in order to do a Herbie overflow you need two holes drilled. The overflow box doesn't have the space and the tank is already running so that ship has sailed.

Difference between 1.5" and 2" drain in overflow

So my 180 gallon was drilled for a 2" bulkhead. I figured since I was working with 1.5" (and I'd have to buy a full 12' of 2" pipe) I'd reduce it and do all the same plumbing. However my durso is...

I used ozone for about a year. It did polish the water some...though sometimes I thought it was all in my mind. I stopped when I started running Ultralith/Zeo. Never got around to hooking it back up.
