    Power head, type and position...

    Oh, I just realised the bag with 100ml of Purigen is sealed... So maybe I'll get 2 and put one in each filter and it'll just last twice as long...? Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk

    Great! So, I'll buy 2 x 100ml packs of Purigen (which come with bags) and remove half from each bag. Result = 100ml to treat approx 300 litres of water and another spare 100ml to use when the first batch is exhausted or to alternate (regenerate one, use the other...). This way I also get to...

    Ok, I'm sold. Today I ordered enough plastic pot scrubbers to last a lifetime. That is, if I scrubbed lots of pots... (Which I don't!) I intend to use them to replace the bottom 2 trays in both filters. That's the first 2 trays the water goes through after the coarse foam, which are...

    Ok, I get it... Thank you. I'll do some more research on this topic. Very interesting and I hadn't even THOUGHT of it before. It makes too much sense for me to ignore the fact that I'm massively over filtered and I'm strangling the flow rate out of my filters... I'll probably still add a little...

    Oh wow! That seems drastic for me... I do seem to have lots of little particles flying about and I have lots of little white dots settling on everything that I can't identify except as potentially just "bits", so I can't imagine with no fine pad what the water would look like. Plastic pot...

    I have the 2 identical filters set up as they came. Course filter pad first, followed by (from bottom to top) Mech Pro Mech Pro Bio Mech Substrat Pro Fine Filter pad All original Eheim media except the foam pads, which are Ebayed copies, which seem to be identical to the originals. I...

    I meant the filters are full of media! Not Substrate...! Hahaha ;) Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk

    Thanks again... James, I see what you mean. Think of the wood as a dog (it looks like one to me) the "dog's head" would break up any jets before they hit the front glass, so I don't think it'd work that way, but I could go from left rear. Remove the pray bars, point both outlets the the front...

    Aaron, I guess that kind of makes sense now I think about it... I won't do that then, thanks. James, your suggestion makes sense too, but my concern is I need to drive Co2 down 2 feet, so the whirlpool effect leads me to thinking the lower levels may still miss out, but this is definitely an...

    Or would 2 of something like this, one just under each of the spray bars be better? Just to turbo boost the flow from the spray bars..? http://charterhouse-aquatics.com/shop/aquatics/aquarium-aquariums/koralia-pumps/hydor-koralia-nano-evolution-900-circulation-pump I'd say 600 LPH each? Do...

    Hi, I have a couple of specific concerns and I'd appreciate your help chosing and positioning a new power head. Current set up - Tank: 110 x 55 x 60 (340 litres) - 2 x Eheim Professional 3 (600) 2075 filters (rated at 1250 LPH each) with original media - 2 x spray bars at top rear, facing to...
