New filtration setup questions

[BigTex]

1 tablespoon per 50 gallons every 2 weeks.

I lost the sheet with the septobac dosages, what were they? I was going to get some, hopefully making my dad think I am spending another two hours a week maintaining the aquarium. He says once I take care of it more (I spend half of my free time on it), he'll look into buying a larger filter.

That sure is a lot of time to spend taking care of your tank.

I just bought some septobac. Hopefully it comes with a new filter.

Here's hoping!

If money is a concern maybe look into something smaller to add onto what you already have. ac110's are great and hold a good amount of bio. Infact you can just fill it with bio only. Even witha small 2 inch pad i was able to get almost as much bio in my ac110's as i had in an fx6

Money isn't very much of a concern. The problem is convincing my dad to buy a filter.

I could look into getting two of those to run along with the eheims. I would try to use mostly bio in them though.

I have three sheets in each. 10, 20 and 30 ppi. All two inches thick and all 13x13

How is the fineness gauged? Is it higher or lower ppi that determines finer foam?

 

[BigTex]

Higher ppi = denser foam

 

[Angelphish]

Would it be a good idea to replace the foam that comes with the ac110 with poret?

Yes ive done that in all my ac filters but not necessarily important.

I put 30ppi in all
