don duncan Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I am using a filter sock but still have alot of debris in the water colum. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reybeast Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 my two cents, i thought I had alot of "debris" as well, turned out to be micro bubbles being drawn in from anti-siphon holes on the pipe that empties water into main tank. Once I plugged those, they went away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don duncan Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 does not look like micro bubbles. Looks like junk. Filter sock is filling up once a week and needs to be changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
