Eternal filter question
I've just added (yesterday) an external to my 190L Jewel tanks. the tank
usually has, as well as the standard jewel corner filter, a fluval 4+ filter. At the moment they are all running, inc the external one. Can I take out the fluval? Is there enough biological filter material in the jewel one to keep the biological filter going whilst the external gets established?

Got your attention though didn't it???

Got your attention though didn't it??? I have to admit to not being familiar with the Jewel corner Filter. But Based what I have seen elsewhere, I would keep your Fluval running. I am also a strong believer in filter redundancy for better filtration and in case another filter fails. Carl

I would keep the old filter in for at least two weeks, to ensure that the new filter has been properly colonized. -- SEE YA !!! Trygve Lillefosse AKA - Malawi, The Fisher King
