J jaws7777 Good news! The foam actually came! It's coarse foam, but it's 1" thick, and I ordered 2 sheets, which should make 4 layers. Although the foam isn't fine, 4" of it should make up for it.View attachment 1243863 View attachment 1243864 View attachment 1243865

It tookills mine about a month. I can't complain though, because it was $5 for a 20 X 20 sheet.

Me either always find a use for this stuff. Probably wont use much though last tower is full and sexond tower is a little less than half full of denitrate i guess i could fill the remaining area of the seco d tower and mix some in the 1st with the floss

You plan to try a protein skimmer? I found one on amazon for $160, and it's good for up to 220g tanks.

No.
I think if i can get even a medium redction in nitrates from the purigen and denitrator i'll be satisfied i still plan on keeping my water change routine for the most part

I'd like to implement a protein skimmer, ozone, algae scrubber, pothos, nitrate filter, and a purigen reactor. I hope to only do a handful of water changes a year (6 at most).
