How often do you change the carbon and purigen?I change it twice a week. BRS did a study and twice per week seemed to be the best balance.

Don't mess about with a full basket just one of the ones that holds floss.Setting up a used IM 25 tank with 1 caddy but no filtration or media in it, what should I put in it? and should I buy another caddy for it?
I had some, just removed them, up to now there is no difference with the tank, just one less thing to collect detritus and clean, I’ll post back in a few days if things change with me having removed them. But up to now, glad they are gone.

I’m thinking of running what you have in mine Idk if the purigen and carbon are doing enough to keep the water clearI have the same tank and have 2 caddies one on each end , I have filter floss in both purigen in one chemi clean blue in one and some rock rubble. I also have the IM nano desk too protein skimmer and of course the heater back there. I change the floss when I do a water change which is every 2 weeks, my tank has been up and running for almost a year.
Also does filter floss leave like some white film on the caddy? Ive never used floss before until I set up this tank. Also what rubble are you running and do you put it in the bottom caddy? And for the chemipure do you run the full dose for you tank or half the dose?I’m thinking of running what you have in mine Idk if the purigen and carbon are doing enough to keep the water clear
