One issue the I've had since I've had the circulation going is some flushing of my Durso (came stock with the tank). I checked the Durso site and it says that there is a common misconception that the air hole on the standpipe is improperly sized, when really it's a backpressure issue from people putting their plumbing to deep underwater.
Sure enough, my outlet pipes are submerged about 3.5 inches below the operating level of the sump. So now I'm going to have to figure out a way of cutting them off without tearing everything appart, since naturally there wasn't enough room in my plumbing design to install the union I had bought to put in there. Fun fun fun...
Another issue that we're having right now is the smell comming off the tank while the rock curres. It's permeatted the main floor of our house with an ocean smell. I don't notice it until I've left the house for awhile then come back, but it's starting to bug my wife (who's been very supportive so far). Yesterday I put some carbon in a bag and dropped it in the sump, but it didn't seem to work. Should I be running it in my reactor instead?
