    How much Purigen.

    Thank you Mebdid, Flow rate is 1000 ltrs p/h (264 gals) according to specs on web site. Very good point about bypass with the noodles in the upright position,I never took that into consideration. I note that you mentioned 10x the tank volume per hr,which sees mine as per your suggestion...

    How much Purigen.

    Just need to resurrect this post. I came to the conclusion that less is more with my filtering problem. So to help with water flow( this seemed sort of logical,maybe) I stood all the ceramic noodles upright as they where just piled up and my theory was they where restricting to some degree my...

    How much Purigen.

    Thank you all for the advice, I might have to put a small internal filter in as well, as to putting a HOB in with the hooded system,there seems to be no room to fit one. I did notice last night a lot of particles floating around,which seemed to be coming from a tall rock formation I have,the...

    How much Purigen.

    Fear of overstocking.

    Thanks B, As you said big water changes are the important part and a few more minutes is nothing really. In regards to well planted tank,I have had no real luck with plants,hence the reason for going for non stem plants. My substrate is swimming pool filter sand and I suppose it...

    Fear of overstocking.

    Thanks Raymond, That was my worry about overstocking when they get bigger.I might just keep six at a later date..The Granddaughter is starting to get an interest in fish ( 4 yr old) so I might get her a nice 2ft tank and set up one for here,or more to the point get the tank for her,but for...

    Fear of overstocking.

    Hi, I run a Aqua One 980T capacity of 240 ltrs,so minus the rocks and substrate I would say it would be about 200> 220 ltrs. The pump says 1000ltrs an hour. Originally stock was: 3 bronze Corydoras 3 Pepper Corydoras 11 Rummy Nosed Tetras. 5 neon Tetras 2 BristleNose Catfish. All of the...
