Sump Recommendations

19 August 2017 - 09:35 PM

Hello again everyone!
Quick update:

As of recently I've moved on my 5 foot tank and I'm planning on selling my 4 foot, 140L as well as my 64L fry tank! This is all to make way for if plans go well a 5x3x2, a wide tank may suggest some big fish but you'll have to wait and see!

Now the real post:
I've decided to go with a sump plan in terms of filtration!
So far the sump has been designed to take a course like this,
From tank through a
200 micron filter sock then into a
200G rated media reactor then onwards to a
Small section for bio-balls then pumped back into the tank.

Now in terms of biological filtration I know that bio-balls will provide a fair amount and I was wondering if the sump should be filled with sponge or k1 media?

The tank will be 800 Litres, the media reactor is rated for 757 Litres!

The sump would be about 190 Litres!

And any other tips or recommendations are greatly appreciated!

Yours Lex

Kandeense

So a little while back things struck me hard and I lost a fair bunch of Tangs plenty of $$$ down the drain.

Unfortunately luck had turned for the worst once again and of my 5 kandeense (2m,4f) 1 male and 3 females were knocked off! But it didn't end there, the last female is to be seen as blind and can barely find food let alone her own eggs when it comes to breeding, I'm looking for anyone who will take these two for a little bit of cash or has fish they are willing to sell to me, any help is the search is greatly appreciated!

Thanks all

Ofc many heard of the plane tragedy and personally it's very kind to pay respect to the families. Even though some fireworks would have been a show!

Hope everyone had a good and safe day!
