I'm going to clean them out in a couple days then ill post my thoughts on here. Hopefully they don't clog up before then.

Do you have any overflow holes in the sock chamber so water flows into the sump if anything gets clogged? I know the filters themselves have an overflow protection but just wondering

Yeabtheres slits at the top of the sump incase they totally clog up. It happened to me once with felt socks lol
 
First 24 hours in operation and it appears to be holding up well. No overflowing and visibility catching larger particles. I feed quite a bit...reef Jerky 4 timed a day, TDO pellets twice a day, Rods food once or twice a day, depending if I'm home.

The newest resident. Ive been going back and fourth between the blue and red haddoni for a while now. Just got done with a 10 day cipro treatment in QT. It didn't like it all that much plus the lack of lighting on the QT didn't help. The blue is a little subdued compared to when I got it, but im sure will return over time.

It's resident clown is still in QT. Ran a chloroquine treatment on it and not has a few more days in copper with some other additions.

Changed put the pump on the Ultrareef to the DC upgrade. I'm not sure how I feel about it...I was pulling some thick dark nog with the AC pump..this one is more of a dirty green tea. It is hell of a lot quieter tho. Can't hear a thing compared to the AC sicce. I'll give it a few more days and some tuning.

Sicce Synchra Silent pumped are anything but silent. I've been slowly replacing them on anything I have running on the tanks.

Are you running the DC ones? I'm finding the noise from the air silencer to be louder than the pump. But then again, it's encased inside the body of the skimmer so that maybe helps muffle the sound

The AC ones. I'm actually replacing all the ones that were on my calcium reactors and media reactors. I just find in general the seem to start rattling in the any of the synchra line of pumps. Not sure if the impellers swells or gets warped, but they all end up being noisy for me.
