oshkosh Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 4)what filter? Maybe he is talking about the overflow filter type. Anyway I don't think that there is a difference. I prefer to pour my new water into the filter so that I do not create any strong current in my tank, that will disturb the sandbed or knock the corals off my LRs.
