55G fern



Also Jojo. I got that pump in the day after we did the PVC. I hooked up both to see what it could do and the Won Brothers one was way more powerful. Runs 30 lines NO problem. AND MUCH MUCH quieter

Looks great! So, that's a Won Bros. pump? I am going to be needing one ASAP, for a 400G with 10 - 20G tanks connected. Also, do you have a economical way of getting your air sponge filters (whole setup...)??

nice should save some major bucks on electricity. How often you do water changes, since sponge filters doesn't really help with mechanical filtration?

I do 50% water change ever week. I rinse the spoonge like once every other month and replace them every 6 months. Most of the spoonge filters that I have are rated for 40 gallons.....so most of the tanks are over done. Anything thats 55G and bigger gets 2 spoonge filters.
