Q about feeders tank

[West1]

I have a 50gl feeder/grow out tank with a powerhead and a RenaX3.

I want to add the RenaX3 to my 300 for more filteration but will just a powerhead effect the Orino? Growth or anything at all??

I do weekly H20 changes of 80%... I do the water change the day after I introduce new feeders, then hit it with more salt.

Orino is about 4-5" and I keep 4-5dz 2-3" Comets a week at a time. I use it as a q-tank to feed my Armatus. I think the Orino will be in the 50gl till probly late December.

Here is an old pic except the exact same set up . Same 2 plans too

Okay let me rephrase this....

Can I keep my Orino in a 50gl for a few months with just a powerhead and air??

I would put a sponge on the powerhead. Then you should be ok.

Keep up with the water changes....Try investing in an AC101 within the next month....

As long as you keep the Temp at/or around 85 to 89 degrees, and keep with the water change. you'll be good.

Being a bare tank, I would think that most of the bio-bacteria in the tank is housed in that filter. So if you remove it then you now what will happen. And exspecially having 5 dozen comets in that tank with no bio filtration i would expect ammonia to get out of hand quickly. ------------------------Having a feeder tank is something you and I for that matter will have to deal with until we decide to get rid of current stock. So i would just buy another canister for the 300. That way you are not losing the stability in the feeder tank.
