If using I-box, there should not be any problem.
I am using one and have tested the system by shutting off my return pump. After I switch on the return pump again, the overflow will contiune to siphon the water from my main tank to my sump.
Hi all,
Just want to ask this question, can I use the sand in my main tank for my sump?
I am cycling the tank now but my sump have not arrive yet. If I disturb my sandbed now, will it prolong my cycling?
Actually thinkin of cycling for 3 more weeks. I am not in a hurry.
So I must get sump or canister. I cannot do without anyone of them.
Am I right to say that?
My tank specs are as follows: 3ft x 1.5ft x 1.8ft, 8mm glass around
That means I need have a sump or a canister filter.
Can I do without them?
ps: Sorry I very newbie. just started 2 wks ago
Hi, I am currently cycling my tank.
I need advise as a fellow reefer told me that I must have a sump or a cannister filter in order to avoid future
problems. Is this true? can any experience reefer advise me? my tank is abt 3ft with 4.5" dsb.
Thanks!
Got a Pro2 powerhead to let go.
Not enough for my 3ft tank as the rate is too small
Very suitable for 2ft tank.
Use less than 3 weeks.
Will let go at $15.
I have been cycling my tank for about 1 week plus. ( I know it's still very early). A few days ago, there seems to have lots of brown stuff (diatoms?) appearing on my sand bed and on the wall of the glass.
My ammonia now 0ppm and my nitrite is more than 4ppm. ( have not measured my nitrate yet)
I am not using any lights at the moment.
My question is: Is it possible for diatoms to appear when the nitrite is so high?
Most of the rocks are covered with coralline algae.
The person that sold me said that the rocks are cured, but just in case, it's better to cure it yourself.
