Haven't been running that long yet myself. But like you said the Maintenance part it PITA. I was wondering that myself, at my lfs told me to add Aquavitro Remediation to help with detritus in bck chamber. Will be try this out down the road. Since aquavitro is the only line I'm using right now should be interesting.

I been running mine for a little over 5 months now, no detritus issues in the sump area for me. I use filter socks with polyfiber pads on top, very close to nothing gets past the filter pad & sock.

Are you placing pad over sock? interesting how did you come up with this trick?

Tank is about six months in so I just did some maintenance and cleaned all the pumps, skimmers, reactors etc and that may be my least favorite part about this tank. Maintenance is such a PITA.

There is also a ton of detritus that accumulates in the back chambers and pretty sure it spiked my nitrates. Thought of maybe throwing a maxi jet along the bottom to keep it all suspended. Has anyone considered this?

Isn't there an area under chambers 1 and 4? I'm not sure how you'd keep it out from under both chambers? The powerhead would only point one direction.

What about using something like Dr. Tim's Waste Away?

Yes I am, the polyfiber pad usually picks up all the crap. I swap them out every 5 days or so, socks once a week at best! That trick was passed down to me here on this very thread lol you'll have to scroll back a bit to find though

I do the same, but use the loose (puff type) poly floss. I did a thorough cleaning before I left for vacation and as greaser said, it's clean down there.

The best thing you can do is go to the beginning of this thread and read thru it. Its a very long thread and you dont have to read absolutely everything, but you can scroll thru it and just read things that interests you. Just about everything is mentioned from livestock to coral and different types of equipment, helps a lot to get one of these tanks going in the smoothest way possible. Browse the thread and use your best judgment, I love mine!!

Thats the set up I'm running. APS stand awesome goes together quickly. I place a peices of pegboard in back. Also a couple blocks under the base. I feel it supports the ATO tank better. If you plan on the tank and are going to use custom caddy & Skimmer. Get the preformanc pack; Skimmer, Reactor along with custom caddy, spinner and auto drip... Good luck cant wait to hear about your build.
 
Just a few shots....been a while since I've shared.
