Ya, I know it's going to be a big problem, but thanks for the warning. I see myself having to clean out the drain section of the sump weekly for the next year or so ... whoooppeeee

Thing is, I couldn't find any LR worth buying back in Feb.
You'll recall when I found the aiptasia ... that was the rock I bought back then
I cured it for months and, by the time we were ready to fill the tank, all we had was 14# of LR and a bunch of base that we had already scaped. I didn't want to ruin the cured rock with more, uncured, so, well ....

I thought we could wait for the base rock to mature, but now I don't want to do that

I'm seeing I need a lot more LR than we started with and I don't want to ruin our original scape. Plus, I'm not going through the epoxy thing again. That crap messed everything up

So, I'm left with filling the sump for a year or so until the system matures

And, to add, I'm going to end up with a whole lot of algae problems now with the leaching from this newer rock
