bio filters

was just wondering what people are using in their filters.

 

Bio media? Lol!
Bio balls, ceramic rings, "Poret" type of open cell foam, and filter floss...

 

was chatting to zoom earlier i want to overhaul my filtration system.at the moment its just bio rock and filter floss in varying coarseness.took the carbon out.

 

Hey... don't put words into my mouth... The advice I gave you is what I PERSONALLY would do with that filter you have. Not that you HAVE to do it.

 

lol i know zoom i'm just saying.thanx for all your help you'v pointed me in the right direction.

 

Oscar Freaks Asked me to load this up for him...

 

thanx lizid u a lifesaver.so people this is my story and im trying to give it a happier ending.ideas plz

 

I would add more ceramics .I normaly run my tanks internal filters 50% -60 % ceramics and mixed bio balls, and the rest thin layer filter floss, bag of carbon and thin layer of filterfloss on top changed every 2 weeks..you have way too much, it just blocks your flow rate and builds up junk.
Oh and the heater in the first chamber- if the pump run empty, you gonna have a fried heater and a nasty shock.

I think the picture is poor, but from the conversation I had with Oscar, I actually think half that sponge you are seeing is bio-rock.

I basically advised him the same as you did, except I told him to take the rock out and replace it with ceramic. I also adviced to have chemical filtration, (charcoal, purigen, zeulite) at the END of the process.

 

Yup. More filtration. Chemical or bio, less mechanical.
