So I have a 75g Oscar/JD tank. One of each pretty medium sized nothing crazy.
Just been tinkering with getting my filter setup right.
Water comes in and goes immediately into the biomax around the outside ring of the bottom of the filter, comes up through the coarse mesh that comes with the filter, then down through the coarse round black, with the red basket removed and filled with matrix, then into the next basket flows through as follows; matrix, down to purigen, then the fine round black, and then back to the tank.
tank as always been crystal clear and all levels good except doesn't matter what amount of often I do a water change I can't get the nitrates to come down much below 20ppm.
did a lot of research and this is what I gathered with what I read.
Will this be a decent setup?
Amounts
stock amount of biomax
250ml ( 4 fine bags worth) of purigen
2l of matrix
how's that going to do ?
also again its a fx4 setup
