procull Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 We are in the process of a major fish shed upgrade sooooo once done we only want to run two large sumps (down from 4), one for fry tanks and one for breeders every sump we have is sorta "old school" with various sponges , scoria and purigen in them The shed up grade is a no holes bared affair so we want the sumps to be "the ducks nuts" ,after a little bit of research we have decided to go with two 6x18x18s this is what we have come up with so far . any advice ? and NO i dont want a nexus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayPee Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I asked the question a while ago about where to put the K1. The answers i got was to put the K1 first then have it over flow into the sponges and other media. I bought 50 liters on saturday ready for when i get my new sump going. So the only thing i would do is to change the first 2 around. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigo Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 My advice Jason, if you want the ducks nuts.... BUY A NEXUS! :p Age of Aquariums - Nexus Eazy Pod Air There ya go Pal. Serisouly, saw one at a breeders house once & I was super dooper impressed! Yeah, I have a seen a couple of K1 setups & they all had K1 first up before anything else, but I cannot see why you couldn't do it the way you have planned. Good luck out there ya straw chewers!
