Regarding my fluval.
Took your advice, raised the filter off the floor, took out 2 of the 4 sponges,
circulation is a lot better(and the detritus is getting pushed around till its
sucked up) I doubt its at the rated 180 gallons per hour, but I'll take it.
Regarding the traffic on this list, heck its the only traffic I've seen since I
joined in october, bring it on!!

 Hello all,

Well it is nice to see the old list getting some traffic again, even if all
we are discussing is the name. :)

I would have to disagree with Nick's comments. Several aquarium books,
fresh and salt, use the term detritus to identify the "crud" we have to
vacuum out of our tanks. I worked in a few stores while I was making my
through college, and everyone of them used that term. In fact, one of my
bosses was an Icthyologist. (spelling may be incorrect). I figure if he
used it, it must be the correct usage of the term.

My 2 cents.
