Well, I learned another lesson today. I was watching my 75G, and noticed the temp was getting pretty low. Normally it held around 80 degrees. But it was down to 75, and when it broke below 75, the alarm started going off. I looked at my heater, and it was on, then turned off. I thought, hmmmm. I'll check it out after my PWC. So as I was taking the water out with the Python, and when the water got below the spraybar, I noticed, almost no water flow at all. So I removed the XP3, and opened it up. It was jammed full of crud. Pretty nasty, lol. And I cleaned it out a week ago. This is strange. Then I thought, maybe adding the 2 MaxiJet 600 powerheads is keeping more crud waterborn til the filter removes it. So it looks like til things stabalize, I need to pay more attention to the filter output. And do maintenance as necessary, even if it's mid-week. This could be a good thing, lol.
