Aquarium Advice Regular
Anyoene heard of this filter media? I went to my firneds house last night in san clemente and her father is in the process of istalling a ressed 900 gallon reef. OMG. It is made of inch and a half acrylic and is the most amazing thin I have ever seen. Needless to say my frinds father had money to burn.
Anyways, while I was there the guy who is constructing it happened to be there and we started talking. We got on the topic of filtration and he started preaching to me about this clay media called KALUPA. He was telling me that after 6 weeks he can introduce corals, anenomes, and basically any bio load he wants. He said in six weeks he will have coralline growth that takes conventioal tanks 6 months to achieve. Well I must admit he sold me and unless someone gives me a hands down reason not to try this media I am doing it all the way. The way I look at it if he is willing to use it in my friends dads 900 gallon tank, his 3-300 g tanks, and all of his customers(he was the owner of a aquarium maintenece company) , it is worth consideration.
I may be pronouncing it wrong, but he said it was invented by some chinese chemist and it is huge in Europe and asia. It is slowly coming to the states.
Anyone of Kalupa?
BTW once my friend s tank is up and running I am goin to post pics. Also I will let you know what his results are with the KALUPA.
