    I think you should consider a service on the reg anyway. I'm sure they should be able to tell you where to go for a service.

    Love the cube in the serving hatch ... BTW you might want to consider adding some purigen to the filtration. Once you see that cube in crystal clear splendor your will never want a tinge in the water again.

    cool - I have actually just invested in a penn plax Cascade 400 to use as a polisher in my tanks - that way I can run purigen and batting when needed - do a recharge when needed (easy to see via the clear plastic of the 400) without doing canister or other filter maintenance. I am using verimark filter socks for the purigen, I find that the seachem bag does not work well for me in small spaces or odd shapes. The floss works great for pre-filtering.

    Running the purigen in your canister, do you find that is polishes the water to a sufficient degree?

    Cool. Looking forward to it. Don't let it stress you too much. I think the cube was looking pretty damn awesome. I will probably land up with a cube in the future

    @Ryno Some plants only become red if there is a nutrient deficiency.:idea:
