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?
