Stu :) Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 When setting up a canister filter and NOT using the supplied carbon/zeolite (as it would be a pain), you replace the layer with an extra mechanical filter layer or an extra bio filter layer? This is going on my odd ball tank with a five/six times turnover. Many thanks, Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Whichever you think would be most benefit. I use as much ceramic media as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu :) Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Ok then... so how about using something like pumice stones or nylon pot scourers that sort-of do half of each? Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 More bio media for sure, pumice is cheap and works well. 5-6 times turn over isn't enough if its well stocked and you're feeding loads of meaty foods, but its a good start.
