Marc,
How are you planning on using this media? What type of reactor?

 

[melev]

I'm going to make an acrylic chimney or reverse bubble tower. I'll just fill it up with the rocks, point a MaxiJet into it, and let it push water up and through the media, and overflow quietly back into the sump.

It may not work but I'm going to give it a shot. One guy reportedly saw a change in 8 days, while the Seachem rep told me it'll probably take 30 days to kick in. I'm not in a hurry, nor expecting a miracle. However if it works, great.

Right?

You bet! Post pictures of the tower when you get it put together.

Hope it works out for you. If it does you could call it "Melev's No3 reactor" :lol: :thumbsup:

I got lucky today when one of the fluidized bed reactors decided to let loose at the bottom seam. I had just gotten home when I heard one of my water alarms go off. (Best investment in equipment I have made) Can't figure out why it split, but it let out quite a bit of water before I was able to figure out where it was coming from.

Thank goodness for things in small packages....

 

[melev]

Glad you caught that in time.

 

[mariocaz]

And only you put that device in the floor and that is all ?

Pirce and where you buy it ?, thanks a lot.

I found them at Mac's in town and they were on sale for $10. I bought a number of them and have them scattered around the house. Here is a video I posted a while back of one in action.

 

[mariocaz]

And in line do you know where I can buy it my friend ?

Because I am in Mexico, city.

 

[mariocaz]

WOOOWWWW I saw the video of the device I action and this is a must to have for sure.

I hope I can find it and the store want to send to to Mexico.

You might try and "google" water alarms, this one was made by Gizmode Innovations. I have never looked for them online....

 

[melev]

You could also look for a "Leak frog" as those might be international.

I see that they offer a 5 pack on Ebay for $29.95

This anemone has doubled in size since it has been in the tank. Not sure what it has been feeding on.. maybe it will split??

 

[jnarowe]
