i hv been using chemi pure right from the start of my hobby. hv not had any problem with it. overdose of carbon is not advisable. try to use GAC in small proportion but change at short regular intervals.

wat the amount per water should i use.. but is this the cause for the AT head to becum like this?? hole here and there.... i tot it is because of the small tank my friend have and the AT keep knocking into rock..

I using PUR II too, should i remove all of them...?

Hope you are not running the carbon in a FR... it should be only used in a filter bag dumped in the sump.

You may like to try installing a grounding probe to remove stray voltage. I don't know how effective though...

Yr water params stable? Mine used to fluctuate previously so much that my scopas got HLLE.

thanks bro for the advise, where can i get it and how much does it cost?

[iori_del]

ANymore expert on advising me on the treating of the disease??

Any AT owner facing this?

[AhLoon]

hi iori_del,

I saw the grounding probe for sale at the place that cannot be named.

After I had a chiller in place, somehow my scopas recovered from HLLE. Possible grounding that was placed unwittingly when chiller was installed.

check out my previous thread on HLLE and other expert's advice

u can call on petmart to enquire on chemi-pure's availability and pricing. not too sure if it can be used along with aquapharm PUR II.
