Fishful Thinking Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 On my Tropheus sp. "Black" (Kiriza) tank I took out the Cascade 1200 filter and removed the media baskets so that I could get more media into the filter and remove as much opportunity for bypass. The pictures below show a visual timeline of what I did. Here is the filter with the lid off: The cleaned up media that was in the filter: I put an old XP compartment divider on the bottom on the edges that are about 2 inches above the bottom of the canister to raise the media off of the bottom: The whole point of this was to put more plastic pot scrubbers into the canister. You can get 6 of them at the dollar store for a...dollar. Starting to put them in to fill up the space around the compartment divider: Putting the old sponges in: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishful Thinking Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) More scrubbers: Putting in the old lava rock and biomedia: Putting in some old and some new polyfiber: Fitting the last pot scrubbers: The fitting strainer/lid and I am done: With taking the media compartment out I was able to add 24 pot scrubbers and keep all of the other media!
