ASM G4
Gate valve mod..
9" of DT water.
Been in 90g sump for close to 2yrs..
Spend more time with bubble head below neck (3"-4") due to constant overflowing.
Can't count the numerous times I've overflowed my overflow container. I feed every other day (mix of frozen) and off days are leafy greens.
Only time it runs "decent" is the 12 hours before the next feeding, I'll adjust the bubble head to be at maximum height. Even after that point I get a light green bubble collection. No where near the green sludge others talk about with their skimmers.
I clean the collection cup every week. The base was given a vinegar bath before submersion and only rinse it out every 6-8 months depending on build up if any (tiny starfish,1/4" snails). No lights in 90g sump.
Total tank volume is just under 300g. Original tank (90g) was running for 8yrs before upgrading to 150g (with 90g sump and 55g fuge),which has been running for 2yrs.
