fluidized bed

Just wondering how much carbon I should run in a 120 gallon. I'll be using it in a phosban reactor. Thanks Sean

I just picked one up and will be installing it this weekend. I am going to run phosban as a preventitive measure. If I like it I will order another one to run carbon in. So my question is, for those of you who use one, how do you like it. Are there anythings that I need to look out for or be...

Whats the best way to set up my sump for my 72bf? I was gona set it up kinda like a wet/dry with some bio balls, or should i even use those? Its a 20 gal long I need to put my skimmer in it along with 2 mag pumps. should I set it up with sand and micro alge or just keep it bare?

Hey all, I thought I would revisit a popular new theory on the remote DSB in such delivery methods as a 5g bucket. I have been considering re-doing my fish room a bit to make my filtration system a bit more efficient and have considered this. Now, my water volume is almost 300g so, I am not...

Hopefully this is the right thread to be asking.... Ok, this is the 2nd salt tank I have done, the first was over 10years ago.... the tank is a 45tall (25x18x25) My thoughts are this for filtration and what not -Fluval 205 (already have) -Pentair Aquatics (Lifeguard #FB300) Fluidized bed...

I was just wondering what everyone's opinions are on fluidized-bed filters. I am setting up a 28g jbj hqi nano and I'm going to make it a BB tank. Since I am already going to plumb in a nano chiller I was thinking of running the return from the chiller through a fluidized bed filter. Any...

Ok so my divorce has created some cash problems that have recently been increased by the transmission starting to go bad on my car. As much as I HATE to do it I have to sell my tank for now. I have over $2400 in the tank. I am selling it for less than HALF what I have in it. $1000 OBO. If...

When i started in this hobby I was dying with all the stuff i was told i HAD TO DO... test everything on a regular basis, fill the water every minute, watch this, add that... it is enough to make a newbie scream and run the other way... between the testing and skimming and trying to keep my...

Hi, Been having trouble keeping sps's from burning. It was suggested that I feed more and change to dry skimming. In the process of feeding the tank more (fish) I noticed that a problem with some brown slimy type algea dissappeared, been trying to get rid of it by starving the tank, but it...

HI I am about to set up my 150 gallon tank. I have been out of the hobby for about 10 years. The question is has there been many changes in the hobby? Currently I have a wet/dry filter with bio-balls, under gravel filter with power heads and the remains of a denitrification filter. I also have...
