Thalion Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 what species is the sump for? Why not both? Bioballs will provide more area for good bacterial growth, shell grit will have more effect on the water chemistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigo Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Better read up on how to keep you water dude & what you want to breed in that water before you commit to certain things. Little suckers wont be happy in a hight PH possible hard water setup & little catties that arnt happy dont donald duck....no babies. Sorry Have a search of the site for 'breeding bristlenose' there should be heaps of info about desireable conditions. Have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
