So I got a roller filter a few months back...never again will I ever go back to filter socks. What a game changer.
Had an idea pop into my head on another potential use of a filter roller and wanted to throw it out their for feedback.
I dose 2 part in my tank like many others and one thing I've always had a challenging dealing with is Alk and Ca build up in the dosing area. Putting a powerhead in front of the dosing location helps immensely but still over many months, it always ends up building up again.
My idea is that I could drill a couple holes in the side of filter roller housing and dose my 2 part directly into the filter roller chamber since this is a high flow area. My thinking is that roller filter will catch the Alk and Cal sediments before they build up into deposits. It'd also allow me to remove the power head from my sump, one less piece of equipment to clean and deal with.
Thoughts?
