I have my Hystrix in a 4x2x2 GROW OUT tank.
Large eheim bucket external canister, tank has been running about a year.
I do daily water changes religiously of approx 30-50% using stored, heated HMA water.
So I've been slowly getting a couple of box filters made up - slowly as I never have much spare time to get on with them.
The boxes have been flowing through with water for a couple of days, adding about 10% of the tank's volume as extra water to the set up as a whole.
The first box was intended for K1. Today I added two cups of media, hat kind of rate should I keep topping it up? I was thinking a couple of cups per day. I don't want the bacteria to crash and cause the water to go tits up, but am I right in thinking the daily water changes would counter balance any negative fluctuations in the nitrate/nitrite levels.
