Edward Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hey everyone, was needing some advice on my 60 gallon. I know most will say it is over kill but I had the filter there so might as well uses it right? :smokey: I have a FX5 and a Rena Filstar XP4. I wanted the FX5 to be purely bio and the XP4 to be mechanical. I was thinking for the FX5 to take out all the trays and use the pot scrubbers like Jvision did. Would that be wise? Or should I leave the bottom tray in and use a polishing pad? For the XP4 I was thinking of Carbon on bottom tray, then the 30ppm pad, then 20ppm pad and then on top tray use the micro filtration. Any ideas or suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas or suggestions? If you setup both for bio filtration, you won't need to worry about killing off the bacteria culture when you clean one of the filter.

Edward Posted February 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Ok so maybe take out one of the sponges and put some bio on the top and ship the rest of the media down on the xp4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
