Just getting back into fish....
I have an old whisper 30 hob that came with this used 30 gal tank I just got.
Was considering dropping in an old rUGF setup, from an old 10 gallon I had years ago, so I would have a better biomass from the bed, to avoid any cycle issues I might have during a cartridge change.
Reading here seemed to push rUGF not being a good idea any more, ie old outdated etc etc etc.... no need to rehash all those points here.
Am I better off skipping the rUGF, in hopes that I can afford something like a hot magnum 250 pro within the next month, or three, to replace the Whisper 30? Should I drop the Whisper 30 for a cheap, but multi cartridge, better HOB unit now till i can get the hot mag? or am I just being paranoid about loosing cycle every time I change out the cartridge on this old w30?
Thanks all.
