 | Hi, Need help in saltwater reef canister filter setup (media options) |
stew  Hobbyist Posts: 87 Kudos: 15 Votes: 2 Registered: 05-May-2003   | Hi all. Ive kept reefs for 12 months now in a 10gal tank and run an internal skimmer and live rock and sand. And have been successful. But my next task ive converted my Fluval Roma125 to a reef setup, This time I have not used Live rock or live sand. I have used Dry Marco rock and got plenty of time for the nitrogen cycle to cycle. I am using a All pond solutions EF2+UV canister filter and the pre booster filter. Unfortunately can not run a sump. Currently all my parametres are good, but there is nothing yet live in the tank. My Questions Would it be advisable to use a nitrifying bacteria starter. I.E Fluval Cycle , API Quickstart or ATM Colony? and which one? And what media should I use in my Canister filter for my Biological filtration, I know canisters are  e to be nitrate factories but its my only option. Many thanks. |
