it's not necessarily the fish, it's one-upsmanship and epeen measuring on the internet. there are a lot of personalities that feel the need to prove themselves anonymously on the web to feel like they've accomplished something, even if the reality of the matter is completely the opposite. anonymity can be good, or very bad and the internet makes it possible.

Well said, its just difficult to sift through all the bs to get to the facts...... 80% of all comments are useless. Good to know there are still upstanding individuals that instill usefull information about our hobby like you.

I came here to learn and spread my knowledge and perhaps help ppl save their fish or better their quality of life. Its sad some ppl come here soley to brag...

correct!!! this rufus dude and t1karman have a thing for me lol ive told them im straight and not interested lol

lets get back on track with the NITRATES shall we lol

these fluid bed filters ARE PROVEN to be worth their weight in gold to many fish keepers (not just rays) like pete said above there will be a rise in the level yes but it soon gets taken back down by these filters

if they dont do this job then why would they make them? and continue to make them?

they can also be used with coral sand to buffer the ph in malawi systems! can be used as carbon filters, can be filled with zeolite to reduce ammonia levels their uses are endless and a valuable bit of kit in all aspects of fish keeping and i would never be without them again

lol yes mate even the best setups can benafit from better gear long term i know one keeper that filters all his ray tanks with air driven filtration with basic media and breeds some of the best rays in the uk!!!

at the end of the day its not all about "i spent thousands on my gear" sometimes simple is best!!!!

and there are pics of our adult rays on this forum if people look lol

hope ya get a FBF they work well more than well!!
 
Google the "nitrogen cycle". Nitrates are not removed with bio filtration, no matter what type - aerobic (more efficient) or anaerobic (sand filters).
 
Ive got to 50 gallons aweek in my 220 to keep them low enough with huge wetdry /sump ,they just wont break down will try plant in sump soon like a reef set up
 
Great idea. I suggest pothos. Grows fast and seems to suck out the nitrates. Keep up with wc or add a drip system, as well, and your water can be pristine.

Like I said earlier, the only economical way to reduce nitrate levels is via wc, drip system, and/or plant filtration. Someone please let me know I am misinformed. Of course, chemcial filtration works, too, but gets expensive imo.
