Hello everybody,
So I am using a waterbox peninsula mini 15 - which comes along with 2 bio filter sponges, black bio pellet balls and some carbon.
I'm interested to see what filtration you guys use for this particular tank.
Chamber 1 - I didn't like the filter sock so I replaced it with a filter cup and filter floss, sometimes I would put carbon under the cup.
Chamber 2 -This is where I am out of room and it needs some rejuggling. I have 2 bio bricks (at the bottom), followed by a small bag of ceramic rings on top, followed by the two provided bio filter sponges. I don't use a protein skimmer as its FOWLR, no corals. I am keen though in exploring getting protein skimmer.
Chamber 3 - just the return pump.
The reason I used bio bricks is because initially it was a bare bottom tank and I needed more surface area for the bacteria. I ended up getting some sand and more rock for the tank, but I kept the bio bricks and ceramic rings in chamber 2. So there isn't any room left in chamber 2. I don't particularly like the 2 bio sponges as they clog up quickly.
Any suggestions anyone? Should I remove the bio bricks, balls and sponges completely and throw in a protein skimmer in chamber 2? or keep it all?

but just wanted to let you know that it fits.I know how hard it was to search for one that fitted that space.
