HarryPotter Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Anyone who ever have an radion pro xr15w? Would like to see if is good enough on my nano cube 28 for soft and lps coral Planning buying it in two weeks witha mesh screen kit If you are ditching the NanoCube hood and mounting it 6-8 inches above the water then yes, but if you are trying to retrofit it into the hood (Like I did) no.

Partially Submerged Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 cause how food can get stuck in there and produce nitrate, You do realize that if you have excess food (or whatever organic matter) floating around, it will get stuck *somewhere*, right? It doesn't matter whether ring or whatever- it's not the discs that produce the nitrate but the organic matter in your tank. In which case you have a over-feeding or over-stocking problem. If you have floss in a previous filtration stage, there is pretty much exactly zero chance any major debris will get caught in your ceramic discs. Anyways, you have enough LR and your nitrate is down, so there is no need for additional filtration. Link to comment
elusianzxelo Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 Yea tha is why i switch from sponge to filter floss, amd i think is way better. Is cheaper it works better and is way more visible to notice when to change is, amd i have beem doing light feeding with my pump off, which it also work good, it gives them some time to finish the food instead of going down the drain, the amout of food tha left behind is very min,but i do ensure there is a little bit left since i habe crabs amd stuff i do want them to have something to eat Link to comment
Partially Submerged Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Yeah. There are pros and cons to any of those materials (otherwise they wouldn't be around). Sponges can be rinsed out quickly and reused for a long time. Tossing floss every couple days is okay for a certain period, but in the long term, it's probably pretty bad for the environment. But yeah, it works well, and filters very small stuff. Link to comment
