Better filtration?

[sukimu]

I have a 29 Gallon tank with 2 hang back filters (nitrate factories)
Tank is not drilled.
Any ideas on how i can implement a better filtration system?

what do you have in the hob filters?

If your levels are fine why change it? But you could get an HOB overflow box and get a sump. Or just get a HOB skimmer.

On our regular size 29g we have HOB Aquatic life skimmer and small HOB filter and livestock are doing very well.

Maybe try getting a few extra pounds of live rock and cycle the rock in a separate quarantine tank. Then add the pieces slowly to your display tank over the course of a few weeks. This should bulk up the filtration capacity in your display tank.

Hope this helps, Good luck!

All I run in my aquaclear is chemi pur some 100 micron felt.I would recommend carbon dosing of sort.It does work

Purchased this http://www.amazon.com/AquaMaxx-HOB-...F8&qid=1422375262&sr=8-1&keywords=hob+skimmer
(AquaMaxx HOB-1 Hang-On-Back Protein Skimmer)
I am planning on buying a sump with a HOB overflow... I am not sure how the return water would return to the display.
Anyone know of a good reasonable price for sumps? i checked out on ebay and amazon and they go for 400$+
I Just got the Hydra 52's with the director and that was a big chunk of my money haha.

Skimmer was not cheap either :xd:
Gotta love the hobby tho

You can use a regular tank for a sump or pretty much anything. Check out some diy ones on here to get a little better idea

Just purchased some Foam Inserts, Bio-Max and Activated Carbon to replace every thing in my HOB filters, along with my new skimmer i am hoping it will do until i can get a sump!
