Quick Euro-Reef RC 80 Question

layer3switchguy · 09/28/2007, 04:51 PM

Folks,

I have my RC-80 up and running in an external config. It's been running almost 24 hours and no skinmate yet. Lots of micro bubbles almost to the very top of the cup, but so far no green brown smelly goo... Is this just part of the normal break-in period, or should I start trouble shooting?

Thanks,
L3

It will take a few days to break in. Don't worry yet. What size is your tank and how is your bioload? Also, is gunk collecting on the inside of the neck or not?

Thanks for the reply! Tank is 54g with a total of 5 fish, some inverts and a few corals. Not much of a bio-load I guess. No gunk is collecting on the inside of the neck as of yet...

Cheers,
