jervismun Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 I replaced the filter wool yesterday morning and see... I think i need to do water change soon Coz the Filter is not installed properly, there are trapped air bubbles inside... releasing lots of microbubbles into the tank. Will add back the entire Reefpack 500 after the coral transfer... the mechanical filter is another Tunze's strength not recognized by many Quote Tank 60x40x40 Optiwhite Glass Tank Sump Elos 500 w/ Tunze Overflow Protein Skimmer Skimz Kone SK1 Return Pump Hydor Seltz L30 Wavemaker Hydor K1 Illumination 150W + 2 T5 Chiller Arctica 1/5hp w/ Aquabee 1000 Water Top-up Tunze Osmolator Dosing Pumps Grotech 3-Channels Calcium Reactor Deltec PF 501 Computer Aquatronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
