    Were you soaking and wiping it with vinegar?

    I actually have a spare ! I just toss it in a bucket of vinager and water and clean it when I rember. That's usually just before I need to swap em so there's not much scrubbing but man there's some serious nose plugging !! Lol.

    If its a fish dominated system then absolutely use one. I will not use one on a reef system though as they inactivate the good along with the bad so deplete the natural food chain.

    Thanks for the input, Folks. I installed it on the Fish Dominated tank. Not too many corals in there. I'd like to get a gph flow meter to see what I'm pushing through there. Coming out of the 1" tube like a Mag 12.
