If I'm going to run to Filter Floss in the IM Media Basket in my IM Fusion, do I just cut a square pad of filter floss to size and lay it down in the top compartment of the media basket? Or do I need a cup or some kind of container? The Fusion comes with the Media Basket and that comes with...
Has anyone made a 7” filter cup that is shallow for putting filter pad in? My Waterbox tank has a 7” filter sock and I’d prefer to run filter floss in it. I want a filter cup insert that is shallow so that I can just lay a piece of filter pad in without cramming my entire hand in to the bottom...
I have a media basket mod for my fluval evo and looking for something to put in the top section that polishes water better than filter floss. UK amazon ect. Reading floss filters at around 1000 microns. wouldnt mind halving that atleast. Any suggestions?
Thank you
Hello all. Quick preference poll. I have an aquatop recife 40 AIO and have a large 3x3x7ish sponge in the first chamber. I haven't had any issues with it but know it will need to be replaced eventually. I'm looking at the in-tank floss holder and floss pads but could also just buy a new long...
Hello Everyone , I did a thread search and couldn’t find the answer to this question specifically for the im nuvo 40
I am new to marine tanks (15 years experience in freshwater off and on) but this is my first saltwater tank. I am setting up this IM Nuvo 40 and I am wondering what I should put...
I have been purchasing PBNS from algae barn lately, and I have been receiving free filter floss with every order. I just remove the wrapping it came with, and use over my media cups. Thanks Algae barn, you guys are great!!!
Do 10 micron filter socks filter lanthanum chloride precipitate well?
Or does a 5 micron filter sock actually do a noticeably better job?
Anyone has experience with both?
Is the 5 micron sock harder to clean? (talking in terms of dislodging the precipitate for future use with lanthanum...
I want to know what my best option here is. I have a nano and my GSP and clove polyps are starting to get slightly overgrown but I’ve never fragged before. The clove polyps at my LFS are usually $10 per polyp so I would love to frag up that colony and start making some money back. Also, I’m only...
does anyone know of a filter that is good for taking out fine particles in water? and what filter would be good for a small reactor to keep fine particles like chemi-pure inside the reactor?
Please and thank you :)
This is obviously my opinion but works great for me and I would recommend this setup to anyone. I’m using a Fluval 50 but I feel like this can work in any HOB filter.
The media need is:
• Cheato
•Filter floss
•Poly filter pad
•GFO/ chemi pure blue nano
•LOTS of bio blocks/pellets/spheres
This...
I don't know about you but i am tired of cutting filter pads for AIO media baskets. I recently purchased the Purity Pack from Innovative Marine and i love it! Re-usable, Re-washable and to be honest last longer and picks up more particles from the water. Let's hear your experiences and share how...
I'm looking to make a quarantine tank out of one of my 36"x12"x12" acrylic tanks
This one has a 1" drain with two 3/4"returns on top. I dont want to use a sump and the sponge filter with air pump I got is too loud.
I was looking at canister filters where I could just run a sponge in the...
I've built my sump a little high on the water line, so I don't think I will have enough space to use filter floss as a media. I've got about 3'-4" (will need to measure when I get home) of clearance above the water line. Seems I'm going to have to go with a filter sock, yeah?
Filter socks are...
