Best filtration for a ray tank
- Thread starter stingray94
- Start date
I have a wet/dry with ton of lava rock as media plus a Fb900 fluidized bed filter which is a really good biological filter, and a Model 354 Ocean Clear canister filter with 7lbs of poly-bead media and an Ocean Clear 320 Canister Filter with 7lbs of carbon. It may seem like I went overboard with the filtration, but I feel it is necessary to have as much biological filtration as possible.

Hey.. you should be careful. As the lava rock can leach metals into your tank. Mike had the setup at first.. then I told him and even he changed it. So it must be no good. I would look into that. But yeah. Use a wetdry
So a wet dry is the way to go. I'm going to petsmart tommorow, so I will take a look at what they have. Thanks

meh.. if they have them the price will be crazy.. check on EBAY.. or look in the DIY.. you can make one very easy! and for prolly on 100bucks with a pump
deathcurl uses lava rock in his sump and had rays with no problem... a friend of mine also does this and I have 3L of eheim lava.... I went from a wet dry sump to more asian style with submerged media about 17L worth... also have a old protein skimmer filled with bio and oceanclear canisters with bio and chemipure.... connected to the sump is a FBF300 bio filter with either a fbf600 or 2 more 300 gonna be added soon...
I've been using lava rock (from home depot) for the last 7 years in all my tanks, IMO it is THE best media for wet/drys. Bio-balls don't even come close.
