Hey gang,
Another basic question here, what is the exact purpose of the bio balls on a wet/dry filter? I thought they were used to trickle the water over and reduce ammonia, but I've also heard they promote bacteria growth. And on a recent reef post I read, somebody referred to them as "little nitrate bombs".
I am going to buy a 125 gal. tank soon, but it will be primarily a fish only tank. (at least thats my thinking now)
The last time I had a saltwater tank, I had a hang on filter & UG filter. So I feel like I just woke up from a cave.
Thanks in advance.
