Hi guys... Just a quick question...
I just setup my 125g a couple weeks ago... I ran the aquaclear 110 that has previously been run on the same tank before it was transferred here so it has established media.
My eheim 2260 is running along with the ac110. The ac110 is helping seed the eheim which has not been running prior to the setup of the tank so the media is fresh.
When I filled the 125g I used approx 50% established water and 50% new water and ran the established ac110 and eheim 2260 right away so it was like starting the tank off with a large water change...
So the question is:
How long will it take the seed the new eheim filter? I am debating whether or not I want to run the eheim 2260 alone on the 125g. Would the 2260 be enough filtration for a 125g alone? (I think it says it's good for up to 500g tanks?) if it's enough for a 125g when can I transfer the ac110 to another tank that needs it? Would I benefit greatly by leaving the ac110 on the 125 along with the eheim? I might just do that to make the tank extra clear... Thx everyone for the advice. These forums rock!
