Spanko's bio cube, what in Posiden's name is he up to now?

[mrdc]

Cool. It seems we use a lot of the same stuff. Where are you putting the floss? In the pics where I saw the step by step install of your filter to the biocube, the person had it in the first chamber. Are you putting the chemi and purigen in the middle chamber?

Cool and I bet you had already posted that somewhere in this section already. Sorry to have you repost things. What is that holding your floss and and pads? Do you just have the chemi and purigen sitting under the floss holder (meaning nothing holding it in place, though I don't think it can go anywhere)?

 

[spanko]

Yes the chemical media is just sitting down there.

 

[mrdc]

Cool. Thanks for your help.

think i might try the radium bulb, looks great

 

[spanko]

They are more expensive than the Phoenix which is also a good bulb. The Radium does give some better color and slightly higher PAR though.

[spanko]

No matter where you look they are all about $90.

 

[mrdc]

Do hqi's last about as long as the single ended halides? Replace once a year?

 

[spanko]

Yes.
