eternal Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I was wondering if I would be able to set one of these up and put a mix of media in it instead of just phosban. I was thinking of mixing purigen, chemi-pure elete and rowa phos. I am planning on just throwing the media out about every 6 weeks. Anyone ever try this? Any information would be great.

JDigital Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Good Idea in theory. Only issue I can sorta think of, is the different media's bubbling against each other... Could cause one (or more) to break down faster than when used alone. Link to comment
eklikewhoa Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 You would have to bag them individually which would make them less productive....purigen is super fine. Link to comment
eternal Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Thank you for the input guys. I am going to bag the items. I am going to try and keep it loose in the bag for more surface area contact with the water. I am hopefull that this will work great. Link to comment
Reef Aquatics Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I run Kent Marine Carbon and Phosguard in mine without any bags and it works just fine. I tried bags...it didnt work. You better without them unless you want to use chemipure Carbon and phosguard work just fine. You can not use chemipure without a bag thou..its too fine and will go right thru the filter pads.
