I had couple questions about filters and what the best conditions are to grow bb in them
my first question is about filter capacity (i.e. running 2 40-60 HOB's on one 30gal tank)
im assuming since both filters see the same amount of ammo and nitrite the amount of filter capacity doesnt effect the quantity or speed of the BB growth rate.
my second question is about the speed at which the water flows through the filter.
would a hob filter grow bb faster if the flow was set low where there was less disturbance? or would it grow faster with a higher flow and more aeration?
