Broke Reefer!
Just spent hours doing tank maintenance and haven't made any real progress - so I thought I'd start a thread where we can all just vent about our stupid tanks!
The current bane of my existance is my skimmer. Too big for my sump, which will always be too small because my 90g stand isn't 18" in width inside to fit a decent sump. Skimmer keeps getting clogged with rubble and chaeto, and the powerhead I added for flow doesn't give enough to move the detritous around across the entire sump. So I went to use a more powerful powerhead, but can't get the blade to spin despite massive cleaning. Ugh!! I know what I need to do to fix it (thought think the powerhead is toast), I just wish I had more to show for my 5 hours of work! Oh, and I got stung by a bristleworm in my sump while I was moving rubble around, and cut thumb on my skimmer lid. Fantastic day. lol
Who's next? :D
