I think I'll try that and NP Biopellets.

[bitts]

the biopellets may not work well in the calc reactor since there designed to be run in a fluidized bed filter. recirculating reactor vs continues flow may affect the bacterial growth. Due to aerobic vs anaerobic conditions. though sulfur reactors are recirculating so mmm...

[animalmaster6]

What do the NP Biopellets go in then?

[LogansRunRx]

 

plumbing & overflow.

 

sorry no fts with out good camera.

alright soooooo...

i don't quite understand the plumbing here...

li'l help???

[bitts]

return line goes above the water line in tank, then before entering there is a siphon brake which drains into the overflow. this prevents back siphoning from the display tank while allowing for a drilled return line.

gotcha!

thanks for the 'splanation.

sounds like a good system -> might have to incorporate when i get around to drilling

 

cheers...

[bitts]

Next time I move the tank, I will be modifying the setup to have the siphon brake at the top of the return towers. to prevent air bubbles from biulding up at times.

[bitts]

OK that's it I have to do a mame based tank yet.

I saw that a month ago or so. Very interesting.

[bitts]

Last night, both the porcelain crab & the shrimp molted. At First thought nothing of this, since the hermits would do this all the time. But the skimmer has been going mad at random times in the last 24-36 hours. Its probably nothing since the water is good. But do you think its a stress response.

[animalmaster6]

That's weird.

[bitts]

OK so im working on ideas for sps. I'm just about over lps due to the fact that i cant biuld a tank with flow close to appropriate. so moving on to actual flow & sps. only ? is which the 29 is limiting on space so may only do 3 or 4. any recommendations.
