browes_91 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I'm wanting to know if I got an external canister and took all the trays out would i be able to put some k1 in it? Would it keep it moving enough to work. I know you can put it on top of sponge filters and other ways but wanting it to look nice as its display. I'm not into sumps so cant run it that way. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayPee Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I'd say a waste of time. It wont move. Will just get sucked to where the water flows out of the canister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayPee Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Just buy some marine pure and put in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betta-Cray_z Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 The way how k1 works just wouldn't work in a canister. You need air to be going through the media. There are plenty of other biological filtration methods. You could just fill a whole canister up with matrix or substrat pro or something. I imagine there will be another filtration method for mechanical? Sent from my phone with a 5 min battery life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
browes_91 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Thanks for the reply guys. Was just a thought. I have some already and was just wondering if it would work. Might just have to it other ways and hide it behind rocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayPee Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I'd go sump for sure. Or you would want a couple decent canisters to run that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

browes_91 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Fair enough. Are you doing it yourself? Getting the glass from starks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakey2277 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Ummm not sure yet, i made smaller tanks but nothing that size so i am thinking of getting starky to redo it, he quoted 240, 90 for the glass 130 for labour, and 20 for the foam, and he will pick up the glass from my house for free went to aquarium factory outlet and he want 380, i think i know where i am going Sent from my RM-821_apac_australia_new_zealand_218 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
browes_91 Posted March 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Yeah. I know which I'd go to aswell. Big difference in prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonboy69 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 If you want to go with the canisters. This will be close to the biggest canister that you might find. You can never over filter so even if you go 2 of these maybe.
