Posted: Fri Nov 04, 2016 1:31 pm Upgraded filter, have questions please
Ive been using two smaller filters on my 75 gal aquarium (filled to about 60%. I was told by a pet store owner that the single Penn Plax for 50 gals should work. I also added the zoo med filter that came with my initial 30 gal setup. After reading the sticky on filters, I upgraded to Penn Plax 1500 Canister, which is now being shipped. I ordered sponge, couple of floss, Purigen, carbon, and the ceramic rings from EBay. When I rechecked the thread, it shows only 4levels of sponge, and carbon. Does this mean I wasted money on the Purigen, The Bag, and the rings, and should have bought more sponges? Will the Cascade not support the other types of bio-media? I'm thoroughly confused now. Also, if I continue to use the water in my tank which has pretty much completed the cycling process and the Penn Plax in tank filter durning set up of the new filter, will I have to go through the cycling again? Thanks in advance.
