great video Ted. Whats the PPI of the foam used for this? And maybe I missed it but whats "TFR"? I've always known these as "HMF" (hamburg matten filters)....or does that term exclude the corner setup like this?
@TedsFishroom8 жыл бұрын
+Rich's Fishes The filter in this example is 20 ppi. The 'TFR' is a typo... I need to change it on the title, which I will do.

I set up a 8 tank rack with these exact corner matten filters. They've been going for 2 years already - perfect system. It's a great system to use with the high-oxygen nitrate eating bacteria. You can hide the hydroton pebbles behind in the corner pocket.

Because not all foam is created equal... Poret foam will last forever because the material is Is not affected by water at all. Cheaper foams will degrade in water over time, especially acidic water.

After looking through all the filters, a half moon version of this has got to be my favorite for my 30g half moon. What is your thickness on that poret? My ht is 27in tall and adding thickness is ungodly expensive more than 3in.
@TedsFishroom6 жыл бұрын
3 in is too thick and will not bend well. 1.5" is probably as thick as I would go, but as Stephan at www.swisstropicals.com. He will know the best to use.

I get the jetlifters from www.SwissTropicals.com. Are you suggesting putting bio-balls behind a matten filter? You can do that, but it is probably not necessary. Maybe put mature, cycled bioballs behind a new matten wall to seed it.

So Ted I saw your filtration video also. You dont use an airstone for this do you? How is the line attached to pipe so the water moves so well? I like the room!

I use Jet Lifter tubes that I also get from swisstropicals.com The bottom of the lift tube is perforated with small holes, so it produces small bubbles like an airstone

How do you clean the sponge without releasing all its trapped in the sponge back into the watter
@TedsFishroom5 жыл бұрын
Lift it out of the water very slowly and carefully. One trick is to lower the water first if you are doing a water change. If the dirt flows out of the sponge very easily, then the pores may be larger than needed. Change to a smaller ppi sponge.

I dont like air pumps is there a way to use powerheads or equipment of the like?

Yes you can... you can attach a small piece of tubing to the outlet of the powerhead and push it through a slit in the foam wall.
@nabaus61707 жыл бұрын
Ted Judy thanks for the video. If you use power head , isn't the current too much for the bacteria to actually do their jobs ? I heard or read that somewhere and I would like to know your thoughts about it

Can I try in my 125 gallons with powerful powerhead?
@TedsFishroom6 жыл бұрын
Yes, these will work with a powerhead, but I believe that the matten filters work better with a Jet-lifter tube driving water over the top of the wall. If you want extra current, us a circulation pump somewhere else in the tank.

Ok I understood. But what measurements of the jetlifter tube should I use for a 125 gallons ?

Probably 20", but ask Stephan when you contact www.swisstropicals.com . You will want a powerful air pump to be able to push air that deep.

@TedsFishroom8 жыл бұрын
+1deaver Pump size depends upon the size of the tank. More specifically, the depth of the water. The JetLifter lift tubes from Swiss Tropicals require relatively little air to be effective. Look for a pump that will push air the depth of the tank, and it will work.
