Setting up Cannister Filter


Recommended Posts

  • SRC Member

Hi,

I am setting my first cannister filter I am not sure if I have overloaded. I come from I fish shop were I saw their bio-filter rings were loose and moving inside the filter.

As you can see, mine are tight and cant move. Should I remove a few?

the CR or BacHome dont have to move, in fact they should not move, because when they move, it will create rubbing and knocking and hence create more dust , and faster shorten the lifespan of the CR.. the canister will push all the water thru all the CR inside..

I believe what you see at the LFS is that the boss try to save CR, hence he put only a little inside, so when the water rush in, the will push the CR around. In fact dont believe so much what you see or hear from most LFS, most of the time, they might not fully understand the functionality of the product or live stock they are selling... their objective is just to clear the stock ASAP and money can roll over to new stocks.
