life's a beach
I picked up some cheato from my LFS(Stuff was super expensive) and stuffed it on the other side of my Bakpak skimmer. After about a week I'm noticing a LOT of gunk in it. I pushed it down a little bit in the overflow/return chamber and a TON of crap came out into my tank.
What can I do to alleviate this or is this normal and I just shouldn't mess with it?
Also, how much light should I have on it? My main lights I've cut back on because of algae issues on my rock. Right now I have an 8" cheapo wal-mart fluorescent hanging down the length of the chamber I'm keeping on 24/7. How much more do I need and what do you recommend?
