Hi there
So after 3 years in the Fresh water world, I am converting one of my tanks into a small FOWLR set up. ( 60 litre Small)
I know all the usually "the smaller the tank, the harder the maintenance" . However due to their being a new baby on the way, and the conditions of our lease, small is the only option!
So this is going to be 15G tank so not alot of room for error,
My question today is, I have a TetraTecEX600 filter which was used on the old tank. is there a use for this?
I have read that Salties tend to advise NOT to use externals with the usual Balls, ceramics and foams as they trap the dirt and become a source for nitrifying bacteria.
Would any of these work for the use of the filter?
1) Place live rock in to the filter to give more filtration via LR?
2) Place live rock Rubble in the filter to give more filtration?
3) Leave the filter empty and use it as an additional water source. This will give me 10xTurnover, and an extra 5.5litres of water volume (1.4G)
?
Please help
