So I have a 29 G tank, with about 15 lbs of LR and about 10 of base rock. A PC lighting system ( T5 with the 420 actinic, and regular light). 100 W heater, 2 koralia PH's. I have about 6 hermits, 6 snails, and 1 conch snail and a brittle star in there. My tank has been going for almost a month now. I just added the CUC. All readings are doing great.
I need to know if my filter system is good. I just have a Penguin 200 BIO wheel filter system. Its the kind that hangs on the back, and just sucks the water in and filters it through the media. I was wondering if this is good enough with the LR. Also if it will work can I change out the media and put something better in there. The media in it now is just the penguin bluw stuff with the carbon I think. If i was to change the filter media would it mess up the bacteria in it?
Thanks for your help, will post pics later if needed!!!!
( I plan on getting a canister filter when the funds are a litte higher!!
