It doesn't look like any, it appears that the algae goes into and captured by a filter bag and the water flow through. It also comes with a tube so you can pull the water out if your doing a water change and sponges to keep substrate from entering the motor. The only downside that reefs.com said was that sometimes the motor will jam but you can easily clean it out. It looks like they are available from TB Aquatics for $68.95. I might get one and see.how much water is taken out of the tank when you do this?
I dont think any of the water needs to leave the tank. What I would do is run the exhaust hose down to the sump and in a filter sock. Keep the return pump running.
I dont know that I like that thing that is tearing the algae off the rock. It looks like it would send bits and pieces and spores and such all over. Maybe they would get sucked up, but that mesh bag would not catch the real fine particles.
Earl,
where? I didnt see a link
This is what I have been looking for to clean my sump. I have the ehiem vacume , but it is not strong enough.
