 SeaClone question
I have a Seaclone 100 that has been running for about 2 1/2 months now and I am not sure that it is running right. I get some production out of it, but only about 1/4" every 2 weeks or so. The center riser tube in the collection cup gets nice and slimy brown, but I thought I should be seeing more in the cup. The air regulator is almost wide open and I see plenty of bubbles, but they never seem to go much above the bottom of the collection cup. (although I cannot see in the riser tube for the silme) The water in the tank is almost crystal with just a slight tinge of yellow if I look longways through all 48" of the tank. My ammonia is 0, nitrite is 0, nitrate just above 0. I did see a cycle where trite went up and down and nitrate the same. I have 10 fish totaling about 20" and they seem to be very happy. Should I be happy to and not worry, or are there things I should look at? I have seen references to Aquatraders BackPack clone. Is it worth the change, or is a newbie just being paranoid?
