    Smelly suits, too high chlorine?

    personally i think your FC is off the charts, i keep mine anywhere between 1 to 2.5, if insects died on contact with my water i wouldnt be going anywhere near it

    How much DE

    if your model is anything like mine, i put in 5lbs to start it, then 2lbs after every backwash, best bet is to look up your model on the net
