I've been following your thread since my wife gave me a 30 gallon aquarium a few weeks back (I still haven't even started to set mine up).

I just wanted to thank you for posting such a detailed account of your trials to date with setting up your tank. It really has given me some direction with how to set everything up.

just got my seio 1100 awesome flow in the 29g now.ive got the 620 on 1 side and the 1100 on the otherside.ive got the 1100 on a timer on/off every 15min its working good. Those tunzes are really nice and i like that they are black but for the best bang 4 its buck these seios do the job pretty well.

bang for buck the seio magnetic holder is 40 dollars putting the seio at the same price point or higher

I was actually just going to ask about the seios. Im sure I can DIY a magnetic holder with my POS mag-float.

you can do that mod but the seio is not not a great pumpt and the 20 dollar price difference is worth it

You gotta get rid of that silica sand and get some aragonite.
It will make a HUGE improvement. JMO.

silica sand?

badgers034 · #**258** 01/11/2007, 05:53 PM

Whats wrong with the silica?? Is it bad in an aesthitic, chemical, or some other way?? Or is it the myth about silicates and nitrates. I have read articles that disprove this.

Bump.

i think its too fine to be anything but a bed of detritus unless you have a really good sand cleaner crew the fine grade sand gets impacted
