Decided today to carry out the full overhaul of the filter system on my Lido.
I will have 4 pads stacked in the top section of the filter comprising of…
- Floss Pad
- Coarse Pad
- Fine Pad (Currently a Nitrax one)
- Fine Pad
The lower section has a Juwel Cirax box with the lid remove to act as a cradle for when i life it back out. In there there are…
- The existing Cirax media (approx. 200-250ml) for seeding
- 250ml of Seachem Matrix
- 80ml of Seachem Matrix Carbon
- 32ml of Seachem Purigen
The floss pad will continue to be swapped approximately every 7 days, with the others been squeezed out in tank water during a change. The coarse and fine pads will periodically be swapped out for new ones.
The ceramic media will be replaced by 50% every 6 months, the carbon every 4-6weeks and the Purigen will remain under observation for now. I will likely replace it once it has changed colour whenever that may be.
