The problem with that setup might be one of circulation. Any debris would need to enter from the sides and rear only as it wouldn't make it through the wall of air. That was why I went with the air wall in the first place. I shut down the filters when I feed but don't like how the food tends...

Well I know that bubble cavitation will eat through the steel propeller of a ship. That being the case I'm pretty sure that they will also eat through plastic in a confined space such as the tube that houses it over time. That noise you are hearing is the result of the shockwave (albeit small)...

Thanks, that's the way I was feeling about it as well after researching it some more. I was at wits end over the milkiness not clearing. The UV did a great job of resolving that or it was a huge coincidence, either way the water is sparkling right now. The only claim I like about the water...

Hi all I have a quick question that I think I know the answer to but would like to hear your opinions. I have a 60 gal FW tank w/a marineland 350 canister and 400 bio-wheel filtration system that has been running a green killing machine 24 watt uv steriliser for 3 days now. The water is now...
