Hello all! I have been struggling to keep my water level constant because of resistance building up in my media chambers and my ATO triggering too much.
It is a fluval 13.5 and I am pretty sure it is the 3d printed media basket. It is made by 3dOcean on Etsy. It works ok so long as I change the floss every other day and keep a bare minimum of filtration in it.
I added Poly-fil to my chamber 2 the other day because my water really needed polishing (probably the baskets fault too). I am trying to keep a nice cascade going into the basket but the poly-fil made the water buildup ahead of my media basket overnight but I did add a lot of the poly-fil. Would an Intank basket likely do the same thing setup like this?
This could be some simple mistake as I am a complete beginner in the hobby and haven't really had anyone to show me the ropes.
Thanks for your help!
