Are you using PVC or ABS? You can probably throw some PVC glue or Transition Cement on the holes and the 1" union. I was able to seal the pipe on mine with multiple coats of transition cement.
The separation of aerobic and anaerobic zones happens internally, exactly where each zones start/end depends on oxygen depletion rate performed by aerobic bacteria. I don't know whether a single 18" tube will be long enough for aerobic bacteria to perform its work, consuming oxygen fast enough so that certain parts of the tube is receiving low oxygen water for denitrification to occur. It might happen if the flow is low enough without the worry of hydrogen sulfide issue.
Hmmm, how many can say.........."Trickle Filter" and Carbon Dosing. Just different configuration. If it works for you and your happy then that is awesome. But to give someone specific setpoints for carbon dosing based on your setup is very dangerous in that you could be helping them to over dose and kill their fish. Not everyone should start at 5ml dosing rate. Anyone and Everyone reading this, please PLEASE PLEASE read up on organic carbon dosing before doing anything like this. For your livestock sake, life of your tank and your own headaches.
Thanks will do and report back in a week. What dosing amount and frequency, or does it matter much?
I quit dosing a good while ago and its been just fine. Probably depends on your needs though.Anyone do this without dosing; is the dosing a necessary component?
Probably have to make it remote.Will this work for smaller pipe diameter and shorter length.
My AIO has very small space and I have problem to install my Tunze 9004.
So only enough space for something smaller then the Tunze 9004
Thank You Toomanyfish for sharing.Probably have to make it remote.
I also like the idea of using bulkheads for the bottom connector (mainly because that's what I am used to working with). I know you aren't supposed to every use silicone when using on a tank but for this application, I am wondering if using silicone applied in a coiled bead (like a couple of layers so it would have full thickness to seal the curve space) would work since it's not under pressure. What do you guys think?
Has anyone tried the "maxspect bio-sphere" medium? It is rebranded taiwanese GAE filter medium; https://www.yoycart.com/Product/552030140940/
(GAE = global aquarium equipment)
I'll give this a shot.
Thank you. I will use this stuff in the second chamber. Unfortunately the poduct is not availble in the Netherlands at the moment I received a message I will need to be patient for a couple of months. I wondered if there any updates here about anyone using this device and I am curious which elements he added to his mix.. molybdate? iron citrate or maybe a strongly chelated iron (DTPA? EDDHA? or other chelating agent) manganese? I guess we will never know...You can try it but be careful as many have found that to fine a media will clog.
