Hi Jonapur,

- U used alot of very 'chiem' words, me never uses all those stuffs too. My filteration is pretty simple. Bascially, wool which acts the 'Mechanical' filter, Ceramic Rings + Bio balls (In my sump tank for quite a long time oreadi) which acts as the Biological filter and finally I have a denetritor.

- With a monthly change of 90L of water works pretty well for my tank.

- Think simple, do simple with the basic requirments of a filteration

Cheers
Marlin

dun think bioballs will work too well in the long term. will tend to become "nitrate factories" after some time. perhaps just a DSB in your sump n a skimmer?

Hi Marlin,

i like your username. Long time never see u post anything in this forum liao.Good your filter media may be simple but if u are ok with it,it is fine.Me kiasu la.Bioball u must have alot and they remove only like i think 20% of ammonia.To me they take up alot of space.May i know what u have to cultivate the bacteria?Of cuz must be something porous right?i just check out this even more tokgong filter media.It is made of 100% marine algae and is porous of cuz.The best for marine.U heard of it? Check it out at Super * aquarium.

Wool is a MUST have for pre filter.Whoa! u got a denitrator? Good? I got no money to buy so i use liquid denitrator.But more expensive la.500 ml i buy 40 plus.I bought once only then no money to stock.But is good la.i like the product.What else u have besides marine tanks?I would like to know more about u.
