Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

@dantimdad I absolutely want lighting! I might have to seriously get "disco" lights like @Scurvy. Andrew was a huge fan.

I have a question to add to this. Does oxygenation enhance the fuges ability to process organics? Triton ( TREND?FAD) requires a 10x turnover and Would require skimming to catch whats missed due to that turnover.
It Just seems counter intuitive, Not that I will have to worry about such things

All organisms like oxygen, form bacteria to plants. So yes.

Triton doesn’t not separate he sump from the dt. It’s one system.
Traditionaly , lower flow through the sump(gut) to process nutrients and send happy water to the DT.
Triton system makes the whole system the gut. The chato just happens to live downstairs.

And the first Triton Method children's book was born...

Tell us more Salty...tell the part about the downstairs neighbor eating all the time!

Then the big bad wolf tested and tested and tested and dosed the House down.

That part scared me! I don't like the scary wolf.

Lol. Triton scares me. I’d rather do water changes.

Exactly.

It is very pretty, but it hurts my back.

 

[dantimdad]

So are we agreed that Triton is scary and that The Sicce 3 is plenty of return pump?

 

[Musovski]

@Musovski any idea what happened?

I’m thinking the male might have gone off on the female. Which is odd.

I run triton. Almost a year in and it’s fine. My LFS icp is near on point. I’m planning on doing a icp from triton. Also triton doesn’t mean water changes. My first icp was through them and it told me 5 water changes of 15%.

Mmmmm....

Maybe we should vote? Some say Jebao DC...y'all tell me.

Could you have actually had 2 females?

 

[Musovski]

Could you have actually had 2 females?

Nah. Female was bigger by 1/2 an inch. Which is insane.

 

[dantimdad]

I use a jebao DCP 4000 on the 93 cube and it's turned down.

Plenty of headroom
