Wet/dry tips Wanted

[Dr Joe]

Thanks for the advise Dr Joe. I read your postings everywehre,honored to recieve one. Can I ask why 1.25 pipes? Its not an option as my tank is drilled for 1inch bulk heads (well 1 inch pipe fitting into the bulk heads)

Im going to plum in 3 returns possibly. One for the UV obviosly with a valve so I can control flow rate -UV is rated for upto 400GPH unfortunalty my flow meeter taps out at 250GPH. Im going to shoot for running 300gph (smack middle of UV dwell specs)


As for the bio balls (15 gallons worth), I was going to have them all out as that is what I have been seeing lately, what ratio do you recomend I have submerged?

Stop I'm Blushing

1) To give you more flow for that size tank, but you have to work with what you've got...it'll still be ok.


2)

3) 40 /60...40% out of water...you'll hear alot of variations on this. Make your stand so you can vary the height of the bio-balls and experiment ( after it's been cycled 4-6 mo.s) to find whats best for your set-up.
