Looking for a mentor.

It comes pre-bagged.

 

3reef.com will be your mentor! I spend hours on here in my free time planning my next moves.

 

Welcome to 3reef. I have received tons of great advice on this forum.
I have a 29 gallon and all I run is an aquaclear filter with filter floss and a bag of chemipure. That, two power heads and a heater is all I run on my tank. I change out 3 gallons a week and have a lot of coral growth and an anemone.

 

Sounds like you have a very similar setup to what I will have. What kind of sand do you use? Also what is filter floss, where do I get it, and where to I put it in my filter?

 

I put my filter floss on top of my bag of chemi-pure in my filter. Filter floss looks like a plastic dish sponge. I rinse my filter floss out in my waste water when I do water changes. I replace it every couple months. I replace chemi-pure every 3 months or so.
I'll have to get back to you on the sand. I did start out with the sugar fine stuff and don't recommend it. It gets stirred up easily.

 

Any ideas on where I can get filter floss for a good price? I was told they sell it cheap if it is not "intended" for an aquarium.

 

Here ya go This stuff is really cheap.

Big Al's Filter Floss - 10 sq ft

 

That looks good! The only problem is the shipping cost just as much as the filter floss itself. How long can I expect the filter floss to last? I am actually looking at the 20 sq ft which is twice the volume and only $3 more.
