OK I will ask your expert and novice openions on two things related to my tank. I have a 125g reef tank with a sump of about 40 gallons. In the sump a have my skimmer ev-180, a section of DSB a section with live rock and some plants then the section that has the return pump. The tank has been set up about 5 years and the sump was up graded and set up like this for about two years.
First off what do you think about the set up??
There was a large population of pods in the sump, Im talking thousands there was also some build up a stuff detrious I guess it is called on the bottom, the only way I could get rid of it was to mix it up in the sump then it would pump into the display tank do a water change then my filter sock would get the rest.
So I added two green britol stars, the keep it spotless no jump on the bottom at all but they must have ate most of the pods. I plan on getting the stars out. Next question.
What will keep the sump floor clean as the stars yet not eat my pods?
