Jbj 28 What is everybody running in the filter

[Eric23]

Just ordered the starve t media rack, currently running chemipure elite, purigen, and filter floss in the middle chamber, heater is stuck in with one of the return pumps because its to long to fit on the smaller filter chambers. So my question is once I get the media rack should I add cheato and if so do I need to ditch one of the other types of media I'm currently running ?

I tried the chaeto thing in my 28 with the media basket, but found that the compartment of the JBJ just wasn't big enough to see any benefit from the chaeto in that small of quantity. I went back to filter floss then purigen then chemipure elite.

Do you think it would be ok to do it like this, filter floss on top, cheato in the middle, than put the chemical pure elite and purigen together in the bottom of the media basket ?

I don't see why you couldn't, my only concern would be if the water would still flow through the second media in the bottom chamber or if least resistance would just send the water into the heater/skimmer compartment.

I run a heater in one of the return cambers and macro in the other with the JBJ nano glo LEDs.
I then run a skimmer in the middle chamber. I just put a bag of chemi pure and a bag of Purigen in the other 2 chambers. This setup seems to work better then the rack.

I had chaeto in my BC, all the chaetoin the back died, it needed a fuge light. Then what made it kept popping up all over the tank. I just ditched it all together.. I currently just use floss/seachem/chemipure.

Yea I run the cheato at night with those nano glo LEDs. I just put it in the the return chamber and it grows great for me. I have an AC3 and I can deff see the ph being more stable with those LEDs on at night.
