here's where i stand. ordering front panel tuesday, takes week to ten days for production and delivery. filter holds water fine, sections have cured etc. so now i'm thinking of media. first section will have bio balls, however there was a thread for a wicked ply tank in Holland that the guy was keeping discus in, i cant find it but he said something about some type of small bio balls, beginning with a 'K'?, that gave way loads more surface area, anyone know what the name was so i can search it online? next section in filter, should it have mechanical filtration, a variety of differing grade of sponge media?
after that i have two more sections, what would work well in these before the water reaches the sump? i still plan on keeping asian aros and if poss a stingray, so the water will be on the soft side, if that affects filtration? been thinking about getting the filter circulating and heated so i can cycle it for as long as possible before filling the tank and then cycling that for quite a while then adding some gold fish to aid the bacterial side of things.
