CliffandJoann said:Squidhead, why can't you do what we did? a long nylon cord with a rag tied securely in the middle. The cord is tied on one end to the dock and on the other end tied to a milk crate outside the filters. When you pull one end the rag goes into the pipe, and then when you pull the other end the rag comes out along with sand and stones, and leaves and plants etc...
Is that clear?
Yup! Crystal clear! Like I said, just want to be able to utilize the purpose of the dome. If I experience the same trouble as you, I'll do it as you did. I was just thinking out loud of a way to do it without loosing the dome, that's all - Chris
