Jstone Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I currently have stock filter floss, bio balls, and seachem matrix in the middle compartment. I just ordered the infant media basket. My question is will I be able to remove the bio balls, and matrix from the tank without disturbing the balance too much, or should I keep the matrix next to the media basket? My tank is currently about 9 months old and has about 25lbs of LR. I want to put filter floss, Purigen, and chemipure blue in the basket. Link to comment
StevieT Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 infant media basket.inTank IMO Take a handful out every few days. Then siphon the chamber and install the basket. Link to comment
vegasgundog Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I ran mine for 2 years with inTank media basket and fuge basket. Ditch the balls. Link to comment

vegasgundog Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I think you will be happy with inTank baskets, not sure about infant though, might be too small. As a matter of fact I LOVE the INTANK baskets SO much I MIGHT order them for my just set up rsm e260. Link to comment
StevieT Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 inTank makes your water so wet you may create an infant Link to comment
Jstone Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 Hahaha I hope not. I added phosgaurd to my filtration, and a new torch coral and I started getting micro bubbles but can't seem to figure out why. I haven't installed he media basket yet. I was thinking maybe a reaction from the glue and epoxy. Any ideas Link to comment
vegasgundog Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Water falling into second chamber could be doing it. Theres an overflow notch in wall between second and third towards top, make sure water level below that or plug it with foam. Also make sure foam block in third chamber is there. Remember to clean or replace it once in a while to. Link to comment
Jstone Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 I actually removed the foam block from chamber 3 a few months back. Any idea where to get a new one? Link to comment
Jstone Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 I also forgot I just got a tiger goby, could it be sand particles from him stirring up the sandbed Link to comment
vegasgundog Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I bought a block at lfs and cut it to fit. It might be ok without, I was growing cheato in 2nd chamber so I had to have it. I imaginge cleaning it regularly you would be ok, its not a very big sponge and it will keep lots of nasties from going back into display. Link to comment
StevieT Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 If you don't have chaeto forget the sponge Link to comment
