“Out for delivery” per says Amazon.
I’m upgrading all my equipment one piece at a time on the 29g mixed reef. Today’s arrival is the Seachem Tidal 55 HOB filter to replace the horrible and undersized Aqua-Tech filter.
My question for R2R is which route do I go for a smooth transition?
1.) Just put all the media from the old filter directly into the new Seachem Tidal filter. Remove old HOB. Enjoy the Seachem!
2.) Run both filters simultaneously for about XXXXX amount of time. After that time is up, remove the old filter and enjoy!
3.) Mix 50/50 of the old media with new media, placing into new filter and run it. Removing the old HOB?
Any help is appreciated, I hope I’m not overthinking anything about this. *This is just my mechanical filtration as I use filter floss as my general media.
