Filtration additions

[secdean02]

This guy I have been watching for about 6 months now. Hes from a pet shop local to myself although I'v never been in. Hes working with moving bed filters, starting off with K1 media and now prefering these sort of sand and glass balls. These are very cheap to make and I'v been running one for about 4 months. In the description of his videos you can buy his media.

Heres a video on how to make his first moving bed filter design, with K1 media from a bottle;

After 3 months of use, ' The ammonia and nitrite readings are consistently zero even when there is a good stock of feeding discus in the tank'

Hes now moved to a design were you use the air pump to make the glass balls vibrate, for this hes now moved to a shampoo bottle.
