Pot Scrubber ?s

[john73738]

How many pot scrubbers per gallon is recommended? I know that too many is better but I want to build a DIY BIO pvc "canister"

 

[alexpie001]

it depends on the bio load of the tank, but really just get as many as you can squeeze inside of the filter

Taken from Zenzzo's page:

Take the bio-chamber measurements in inches,
and multiply all 3 dimensions---------------------------->12"x12"x12"=
to get a cubic inch number.----------------------------->1,728 cu in.
Take that number, and divide by 9.------------>1,728 divided by 9 =
This will give you the needed amount of SCRUBBIES.-----> 192

This will give you the # needed for a measured bio-area. As far as the # needed per gallon of tank/sump space, I remember seeing some recommendations somewhere, I'll see if I bookmarked it.

I don't remember exactly how many scubbies I added but I do remember I figured out I have about 562,000sq in of surface area with them. For 2 cats a pleco and a gar in my pond

I'll give you a hint. This is WAY too much for 180 gallons. That's a 75G tank.
