My Media Basket!
« on: April 23, 2012, 02:01:33 PM »
Hi All,

I purchased a bigger media basket for my JBJ Nano Cube 28G from InTank. It is bigger than the stock and fits better. I currently have Poly Filter in the top chamber, Purigen in the middle, and Chem Pure Elite in the bottom. Will this meet my tank needs? Is there something else I should add or change? Thanks for the input it is greatly appreciated.

I wouldn't change anything at the moment if what you're already running in it does nicely, then I'd just keep using that.  Does it come with another media chamber that you didn't have access to before?  If it does, then maybe I'd think of running another sponge or something.  If it ain't broke, then there's no need to fix it.  Now that you've upgraded it, you can probably experiment with switching one element out at a time and see how it affects your levels if you're looking for a specific result.

Hi All,

How often or should I ever change my Chem-Pure and/or Purigen media in my filter? Again I have heard both yes (every 6 months or so) and never.

How often do you normally change it?

Tee hee!  I hear that others replace their stuff very 2-3 months.
