Spliff Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 Thinking of adding chaeto in place of the sponge in the first chamber and putting filter floss in the first basket instead of the carbon sponges any thoughts ? Quote Link to comment
Militant Jurist Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I have the same tank as my newest edition. I do not know that there will be enough surface area in that chamber to make it much use. I swapped out the media in the baskets. I run GFO, carbon, Matrix, XPort NO3, and Purigen in the baskets. 1 Quote Link to comment
