ya it did, I honestly only turned on the pump after I had the socks in so only took 3+ hours and it totally cleared up in just that amount of time. As for media I have a bunch of Bio balls I plan to just throw in the sump but also I am am going to put together some really large media bags that I am going to make place a power head in the sump to keep the water moving through it all well and fill it up with to start carbon, ammo-carb, and I am thinking crushed coral. I really wont replace any of the stuff just put it in there and let it all be bio filtration and have some helping effects for anything else that it might do, I already have all this stuff and have done similar with all my other setups so why not just keep doing what works. In the bags I can easily take it out or move it around anytime I want or even rinse it if needed. Have any ideas yourself??
