Aquarium Advice Addict
Well after 2 weeks of dusty water I decided to hit the books on filters.
Canister isnt really in the budget so I crossed that off.
I have two filters on the 55, The two were a aqua tech( absolutely no flow on the 30-60) and a 30-40 gallon filter as well that literlly had so much flow that I was replanting on and moving substrate back, it lifted 3" of sand and 2" of flourite to bare glass.
I now have the 30-60 on there for the biological( what there is of it) filtering while my new aqua clear 70 gets up and running.
On the AC70 it has alot of media in it, ALOT. wonder what they know that the others dont? But I have the stockers in there that came with it along with 3 layers of filter fiber on top of the carbon( being changed to ammonia bag in two weeks.) what am I to expect of this filter from a hobbyists point of view? I do have a chunk of te AC70 sponge on the intake inlet that was on the smaller HOB filter for biological media and fry( if any ever come females are ready any time now) protection.
I do have to say in the few hours its been on the water has just the right amount of flow and the water is actually clearing already.
There is a inlet nipple at the top of the intake tube, I put my CO2 line into that figuring thats pretty much what its for? Am I correct in doing this or should I just put my CO2 back on the diffuser?
