You are correct on the 25 gallons, I wanted to increase the total volume of water. What exactly is wrong with having that much in there? I can lower it if it needs to be lowered but I have a check valve built into my plumbing so when the pumps shut off I dont get back siphon. The remora is not new, I pulled it off of another tank that I had when I moved my fish into this 72. I did add alot of new water with the addition of the sump. All 25 gallons were new. So it is just going to take a while for the proteins to build up in the new volume then?
