Folks, Does anyone know of a retailer that stocks ATI T5 bulbs? I'm looking to play around with my T5 setup. I'm in Southern, NJ (Mt Laurel area) so prefer someplace thats 90 mins or less in terms of drive time. Thanks! L3

Thanks, I do have a filter sock, not sure of the micron size, but I'll up the replacement of them from one every week to every other day... I may just drain, dump the sand and start over... I'm out of ideas...

Hi, it was live sand. I did not rinse it prior to use, as the bag said it was not necessary. I beleive it was carib Sand... Tank has been up and running about 2 months now. I may remove all livestock, drain the tank and start over to see if that helps, but prefer not to get that drastic yet! :)

Hi, didn't try floss, but I do have a sponge between one of the two traps (the last one).

Folks, Thanks for the prompt replies! My skimmer is an AquaC Evo240, the substrate is CaribSea. I should mention, even with the skimmer off, I still have this problem... My sump does have bubble traps... Thanks! L3
