Idea---Phospot.

Correct me if I am wrong Todd....Gary, I don't think that he has fuge with macro in it....hmmm...

He did in his old system and I haven't seen the new system since we moved it, but I was assuming he did. If you want to add iron to your tank, just go down to Home Depot and get some Ironite.

Not supposed to run a fuge with BB. Kind of goes against the whole model.

I'll e-mail Two Little Fishes today.

Thanks all,

Todd

Really? Who is making up these rules? :huh I thought the main reason for going BB is to keep the tank clean and prevent a build up of excess nutrients in the sand bed. I don't see how a fuge growing macro algae in it hurts this idea in any way, I would think it would be of great help as the macro would absorb the excess nutrients that are forced to stay in the water column.

who says that you have to have sand in your fuge????

one of mine is BB with a rolling ball of cheato in it.

[GaryP]

It doesn't make sense to me either. It would seem that any help you could get in nutrient control would be beneficial.

I think I know what your looking for. This was posted on MARSH back in December 04 and then on RC. RC is bogged down right now and won't let me perform a search. Do a search for invincible569 and you should find what your looking for. He is also on www.zeovit.com

Here's the thread on RC for these:

The guy who makes (made) these goes by kevinn on RC, but I don't think he is making these anymore. I've got one though if anybody wants some other pictures of one so they can built it themselves.

Todd,

I'm still mystified why you aren't supposed to use a phosphate absorber or a fuge with a BB tank. Can you direct me to anything on this?
