Chaeto Episode

[hawkinsrgk]

Just wanted to share

Today I got concerned that my chaeto could cause an issue with being so close to the intake of the return pump. If I would have just left it alone everything would have been ok. So I push the chaeto to back of the sump to see how big of an eggcrate box I needed to build

I then start walking toward the workbench and I heard the skimmer make a strange sound. The skimmer was only half full. The current in the sump didn't seem as strong. Then it occurred to me that in the process of moving the chaeto something got clogged

Long story short. Thought somebody may get a good laugh out of it

Im amazed that size of pump didnt chop it to bits!

 

[hawkinsrgk]

It was really compacted and about a handful. Really glad this didn't happen during the week

Ya that would have been bad!
What pump is that if I may ask?

Hi AJ

LOL. I have given people chaeto quite a few times. Do you need some? I'm quite good at growing algae in general (chaeto, bubble and hair)
