FarmerTy Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 The topic was decided to be Basic Filtration. If you want to be the speaker, that's probably good.That's a wide open category there! Who was going to speak on it? I can assist if desired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan H Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 There is no specific speaker. The idea was to talk about some of the pro's and con's of some of the essential forms of filtration: Bioballs Skimmer Sand Beds Macro Algae GFO Carbon etc... How about this... I'll take on a few that I'm familiar with and you take a few you're familiar with? I can talk about skimmers, Sand beds, and perhaps GFO/Carbon? Perhaps have you do UV, bioballs, filter socks, and any others you want to? I think the idea was to just have a brief overview of each, like a few minutes per filtration method just to talk about the how to, why, what it does, and what negatives are known.

Sure, we'll figure it out. Only thing I'll say about bioballs is to give them to your cat as a play toy and move on. [emoji4] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan H Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 Ha. So maybe someone else can talk about them. I only use them to block snails from getting past the baffles of my sump into the skimmer chamber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
