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 :)
 
The best is Diatomaceous earth is the best products to clean water.
 
I'm looking for something like filter floss but finer to get the smaller particles. i have a 25g AIO so needs to fit in the filter chamber
 
This is what I use in my evo. It works great and keeps nutrients low in my tank.
My issue with ultra fine filter pads in an AIO is they tend to flow overtop instead of through. High recommend a dual layer for AIO.

Amazon product ASIN B01AHIOM8A
I agree i use the same stuff. I use a double layer of the 50 micron under my filter floss. The floss catches the big stuff so my filter pad stays unclogged. I have a BioCube 16 so I understand the AIO struggle.
