Lots of fun yes, and your post has sent me off on a wild search for
info on CO2 injectors.
On the RUGF front is there a reason to forego the two 304s to use a
single 404? I'm thinking that if redundancy counts, then how about a
304 feeding each filter plate(two 18"x24" plates).
Also I have some uncertainties regarding cycling the new tank. When we
setup the second ten gallon, I ran two power filters on the existing
tank for a week and then just moved the spare to the new aquarium along
with the dominant CAE. That worked fine. Of course I won't have
enough bacteria for a 75 gallon tank. How do I seed the big tank? Can
I just move some gravel from the 10, and then move the fish and the
little 10gallon powerfilter to the 75? It seems that would probably
give me enough bacteria to accomodate my existing fish load. Then we
could just add a couple of fish a week to work our way up to our limit.
I've considered using Bio-Spyra as an additional safety net, based on
some recent threads here, but I'm thinking that would give us lots of
biologicals, but not enough waste for them to feed on. I'm not sure
that is a good thing. I'm not familiar with how Bio-Spyra
works...could we just add/seed a bit each time we introduce fish?
Thanks for all the insighful ideas.
