wanted to share how i do it. personally am amazed it works as there are so many fish
Garmageddon
Tank Size : 6x4x2ft
Filter : Eheim 2260 + 15 litres Mr Aqua ceremic rings, 2 sets of micron filter 200
Water Change : 50% weekly + gravel vacuum every 2 weeks. wash entire eheim monthly.
pH : 7.5, maintained by 7.5kg of crushed corals
Circulation :
Substrate : Roughly 150kg of assorted sized pebbles, rocks & stones
Feeding: 3-4 times weekly, feed till 50% full
Stocklist (current) :
Water >> Overflow box >> Micron sock filter >> Canister >> Tank
Here it is during a WC
filter is an eheim 2260 filled with 15litres of mr aqua ceremic rings.
the inlet(not input, made an error) of the eheim is plumbed directly to the overflows of the tank.
part b, base is 1"..top is roughly 4", can't remember
the micron sock goes into the holder
use a stick to push it in and adjust to fit
should look something like this
place the whole set up in the overflow box
looks like this, sorry for the algae. part A is a piping in the overflow box.
i have an extra sock within the filter to catch any debris that are missed from the first sock. using this set-up, my water has been incredibly clear and it makes life so much easier not having to wash the eheim 2260 out weekly...it also becomes clear how much mech crap my previous filtration was missing out as the mircon sock gets clogged every 3-4 days and i have to wash/replace them.
