SRC Member kenyee Posted May 21, 2016 SRC Member Share Posted May 21, 2016 Interesting tank..dirt below the rocks either mean insufficient flow or wrong scape with dead spot..of coz the appealing look of a tank is up to individual, i just find it weird with just a small piece of rock in a big tank..anyway nice fishes u got..cheers Quote @ 291213 Updated video: Kenyee FOWLR http://m.youtube.com/my_videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queen angel Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 Imo. Sump don't use coral chips or sand as filter medium . just use some bio rings . If use coral chips , over the time dirt will accumulate in the coral chips , resulting in high nitrate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queen angel Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 For my sump I just use two pack of ceramic bio rings , skimmer in the second compartment , third compartment for quarantine new fish and lady compartment for return pump . I notice put more bio rings in the sump actually doesn't help much . Just keep the sump simple . I noticed after I remove the bio rings in the third compartment of my sump there are no effect to the tank at all . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
