You might want to consider getting an Eheim or something similar to run the carbon in.

I have one of the large filter socks with a plastic colar - big enough to hold 4L of carbon and an Eheim pump in the sump to pump water into it and through the carbon - makeshift, but the same principle!

I am committed now ... 3 tabs of Interceptor went in the system at 1:00pm ... :cry DIE SUCKERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, where did you get those barrels and how many gallons do they hold?

Steve, can you do a "how to make RO/DI water and mix to saltwater" seminar at the next meeting?

:wacko

MikeBoy to the rescue They are 220L (~58g) barrels, so have about 400g of water mixed and ready to go. But, these barrels are lightweights compared to what Mike just dropped off ... see my new post in a couple of minutes!

WOW :o 50% of 500g is a BUNCH OF F...ING WATER :o

Treatment and first water change are done, gotta rest up for the next one pant, pant, pant!

Thanks to Todd & Brian for all the great advice, thanks to MikeBoy for the barrels, and MANY MANY thanks to Brian for the Interceptor!!

I'm past the first 24hr water change, and now I'm just gonna test and watch and do 25%'ers every few days as needed. Everything seems fine, no additional losses except hermits, one cleaner, and maybe my elegance coral that wasn't looking so good anyway. SPSs are looking a little better.

THIS WAS A ROYAL PITA, and my system is semi-automated for water changes.
