Canadian Clean-up crew and DSB


I often see you guys talking about buying clean-up crews for your tanks.....I would like to get one, too, but you all are american....do you know of a canadian distributor, or one that ships to Canada? please? also, those of you with DSBs, do you run an undergravel filter? really looking at DSB, but that may mean changing the way I filter,,,,right?

UGF with DSB


A DSB relies on anaerobic bacteria breaking down the nitrates into nitrogen gas, utilizing an UGF will oxygenate the DSB removing those areas where the beneficial bacteria thrive. I switched from UGF with CC to DSB in early May and I have seen nitrates drop from +40ppm to almost 0!
