Hi all
looking for ideas on re doing my sump right now I have a 30gal long DIY 3 chamber with 9 inch baffles no filter sock 1st chamber skimmer and power head, 2nd chamber cheteo thin layer of sand and 2 mangroves in a pot,3rd is return, heater and reactor...the problem I have is slow flow in chamber 2 and 3 causing cyno and detritus build up...I purchased a new 30gal long to swap the old one but I am leaning towards keeping cheteo ditching the mangroves and sand maybe using egg crate to keep the cheteo in place and using the power head to keep everything moving toward the return what do you guys think open to other suggestions
