diverrk Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hi all !! I setup one of those Red Sea Art Deco tanks with an AC 50 for a filter. Just curious what I might be better off doing. Shall I continue to use the filter as is with the foam, charcoal, Biomax layer or should I set it up as a fuge with some LR and Chaeto. Don't Worry the Damsel is not staying long Destop Lamp canopy with 10w 50/50 going to change bulb to a 20w as soon as it comes UPS. Link to comment
clownfish1124 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Wow! that's amazing! smallest pico in a while. i would make the hob a refugium, thats what most people opt into doing. Link to comment
Lalani Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Glad to hear the damsel will be moving out. Looks good, nice variety. I would convert the filter into a fuge also. Link to comment
HecticDialectics Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 imo a "fuge" in that itty bitty filter is going to be a joke. I'd probably just run some carbon, and maybe a polyfilter to change out every week or two (or three even). Once that fish is gone, you should pretty much have zero nutrient importing going on, which means, once your params are nice, the tank can coast along just fine. Link to comment

Yeh kinda what I was thinking that, but was torn between. I am going to try this in place of the carbon that came with the filter . Pura Filtration pad : http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewItem~idProduct~MN3311.html and a small amout of Purigen. Thanks for the opinions guys always appreciated. Link to comment
