    7” Filter Cup Tray

    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...

    5 or 10 micron filter sock for lanthanum?

    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...

    Cutting back GSP and clove polyps

    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...

    While we are talking about filter socks and other media... Question:

    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...
