lufc Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 Is it possible for me to put in Bio-Ring(bottom layer),Di-Nitrate(first layer),Phosguard(third layer) and Bio Sponge(last layer) for my cannister filtration.

DeepBlue Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 I started my 2 FTtank with a cannister for 6 months...if you intend tp keep LS and corals...I dun think it can sustain..my tank was failing after 6 mths...corals were slowly dying(of course could be due to many other reasons)...in the end...had to close the tank, re-set and make it into a Q-tank now. longevity? go for sump or refugium(hot nowadays) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lufc Posted August 31, 2003 Author Share Posted August 31, 2003 thanks deepblue, but me not at setting up any sump or refugium. but do weekly change 10-15 percent of water and monthly clean up the cannister or replace any used up bio sponge.

DeepBlue Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 many difft views.... when I was using my cannister...diff pple told me diff thing..newbie mah... 1) dun touch the medium...dun disturb the good bacterias inside 2) change the bio ring every 6 mths.... 3) wash only the filter sponge on the top layer..... also dun know who to believe...so I kept for 6 mths...time t change bio rings...changed to 4FT tank with sump instead..... may wan to consider a refugium...look at danano's nano tank.....really nice setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
