Good Evening all,
I am new to the hobby but over a month ago i brought the below linked TMC reef tank.
www.tropicalmarinecentre.com
I am having surface film problems even with my pump creating quite a bit of surface agitation.
Due to the construction you can see in the above link, the rear sump has an input at the top and the bottom, because of this the film is not getting dragged into the sump and the filtration stack is not catching it correctly.
The filtration stack also has a good 1-2cm gap underneath so dirty water can go straight into the pump.
I have thought of putting filter floss under the stack to block the water flow.
Does any have any experience with this tank or any ideas on how i could improve it.
Cheers!
