lol - I assumed as much --- on both counts
Now if I could just figure out how to get my Magnum HOT to stop blowing bubbles...
PS - I have Orchids and various other houseplants as well. Wanna see pics?

I had that same problem last week with my HOT Magnum....I only use it when I want to run carbon....I tried everything to get the bubbles to stop....NEVER had that problem before....finally I just got fed up and took it off
Let me know if you figure out the problem...please

IDK. I now have two, cuz I thought my original was just old, and the seals had worn out, so I bought a new one 'cuz Marineland has been really stingy with replacement parts. Same issue - everytime I shut it off (like at feeding the corals time) it blows microbubbles off and on for 12 hours after I restart it... That's where my carbon and Chemipure™ are tho, and I don't have a HOT 'fuge yet...
I've also got a 350 Canister, but that thing blows my sand around like the beginning of Wizzard of Oz . I wanna run the microcartridge 'cuz I've got some Cyano, but my substrate gets blown everywhere. I've also read that diatomaceous earth can add silicates.
Zat true?

I have a 350 canister too that I only use for flow...but I have a 225g tank..
I used the HOT magnum for a long time on a fw tank, and kept it so I can treat with carbon on my 225g if I needed to...I always liked it, and last week was the 1st time I EVER had an issue...like I said...I never figured out the problem..Do you have the foam sleeve over the inside carbon container?
I have no clue about the diatomaceous earth...LOL...

Yeah, running the sleeve, top the thing off for any air in the canister when I do water changes (fill WAY beyond the water line mark...), clean it once a week, blah, blah --- it's driving me crazy.
I am running one of those rotating flow thingy's (in my FTS pic - that look like the Korelia) on it, and the Marineland site says it could be a restricted flow issue, but if you're not, I can't see that as the problem. The thing is only a week old. K, the filter basket's not, but I rinse it thoroughly every time I do a water change...

Wow,
so yesterday, I was getting really concerned. I had a small Cyano outbreak. I removed most of it by hand, and the CUC took care of the rest overnight. I didn't know anybody ate that stuff, but it's gone (Sally Lightfoot - maybe? I dunno, but it's a gravel churning machine)... I made the mistake of starting the tank w/ tap water so I've prolly got some lingering PO4 and/or Silicates (no test kits for those). All water changes since have been w/ RO/DI and NO3 has always read 0.
To provide some background on me, the last time I had a tank, Actinics were only available by special order from the lighting shop in 4' 40wt. Nobody had heard of MH, and PC's and T5's didn't exist. I forget who it was down in FL had just successfully bread clowns, nobody was even thinking about keeping live coral, and Instant Ocean was the salt. Crushed Coral drip filters were just coming on line. Refugium? Wazzat?
We all knew we needed more light, esp. blue, but the only way to get it was to have a wider tank so you could install all those 4' 40 watters... I had 6 crammed over a 40L tank (48"x12"x12") to give an idea.
Hermits and snails were a novelty, not a necessity, and algae was just a fact of life. Nitrates hovering in the 40 range were pretty much par for the course.
Tanks smaller than 55 gals were for experts only, and even then, one was taking a chance. (Against all advice I kept a small octopus in a 10 gal for 3 years.)
The one I worked at was one of the first fish shops in the midwest to stop importing cyanide caught fish, but we still had no idea why our Mandarins would only last 6mo if you were doing well.
Anyway - that's my history - and now I'm back in it and more fascinated than ever.
I got some really cool sunrise (Actinic only) shots, but I'm still unclear as to how to post directly. Do I just click on the add pic icon and paste in the photobucket url?
Thanks,
Emil
