The Tech Den Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 We have the Aquael Turbo Filters, they have a section that you can put in the Macropore if you took out the rings. These use both Mechanical and Bio Filtration in one. Great if you do not have the room for canister but would like some bio filtration.

ozmo Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Very interesting John. Just curious... If you were to use Macropore would it need to be in a resin bag? Or, is this setup to work like a FBF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoTurtles Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 I been using on of these for a couple weeks now from the tech den and had no problems or issuse. I did think were the sponge filter comes on was a bit iffty- in coming off, but with turtles climping over it all day . Not a problem I switched out the media for purgien with great flow still.

TwoTurtles Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Purigen in a resin bag? Yep. Already had 3x100ml bags . Might be able to stuff a 4th in. I didn't try nor need a 4th for my tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tech Den Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Yes you would need the resin bags to hold the media or they would escape. You could use MarinePure Spheres in there too if you wanted maybe a combo of the two - you may not fit alot of the MarinePure Spheres but you would not need a lot. The surface area of the MarinePure Spheres are massive and you could end up with a tricky little internal that is just awesome. Here is a link to the MarinePure Spheres and scroll down and have a squiz at the surface area. CerMedia MarinePure 3.8l Spheres Bio Media Here is just a little demo on the surface area.
