so i was browsing another reef forum and a dude with a start up nano kit mentioned he has ceramic rings as part of his filtration set up.
in one of the replies, one of the more experienced members advised him to get rid of the ceramic rings as they bite you in the long run. - there was no further explanation.
so i cant help but wonder what these guys were on about, anybody also share their opinion? please advise
i currently have my overflow feeding into a compartment which holds a few of them plastic balls and then a massive black sponge beneath it - from there the water feeds into the next compartment which houses the protein skimmer which flows skimmed water into the next compartment which drains from the bottom, passing through four sacks of ceramic rings, and flows into the next compartment which houses the heater and main pump for flow back into the tank via a distribution tube with multiple holes in it at different angles.
so is my current filtration set up "correct"?
will i encounter difficulty later on if i keep it as is?
what about adding active carbon and where does this go?
forgive any stupid questions - jus take a look at my post count
