what types of media can be used in this and what recommended flow rates for each type please?

Bio pellets, carbon, gfo, chemipure, etc... follow manufacturers recommendation for flow rate on media. Bio pellets will need more flow than others.

i am using the smallest pump I could find...i think that would be sufficient for most media used in these things. The instructions for the phosguard, for instance, tell you to use a very low flow rate through it.

I use phosguard without a bag and I use Purigen with a fine mesh bag, both at the same time. Flow rate should be very slow for both, but I don't know the gph.

Hi there...I checked the box again today and it's slow flow. Apologies I gave an incorrect answer to the last asker

A pump device would probably be the best option. I use a "First Need" water purification system when siphoning directly from a stream into a sterile, (non contaminated) water bottle or bag. The Sawyer mini I use in line with my camel back.

Use straight, no mixing required.Although i do not know the mix % to water feels heavier than 50/50, Genuine M/B fluid products are worth the money IMO.....

IMO this filter would work fine for that purpose. Another filter that I consider even better in this category is Lee's small triple-flow corner filter. Lee's is slightly more expensive but has improved flow plus it includes an internal air stone for more aeration.

Thanks for your interest. The media is used inside many canister type filters. The best way to determine the amount used is to calculate the cubic feet of the sand inside your filter. The equal cubic feet of the tube media will be much lighter but I dont know how much to suggest without knowing the area.

I utilize these in a JBJ 28 gal with a return flow of 248 gph + 500 gph w/ the oceanstream power head for a total of 748 gph or 26 times turnover. LPS requires 20 X turnover and SPS reuires 30 X turnover. I find these work well in my mixed tank. Provide enough flow to cover the tank well and provides great turbidity when placed correctly.

I would probably double up on the carbon media. It'll help with the smell and clarity. Hope that helps.

There are 1/2 or so manufacturer's who make fluids for record cleaning machines. All are similar. Roy Hall is sending us a formula if you want to make your own. Plain tap water is not recommended. Dick Moulding Spearit Sound

Three blocks....to each block you add 40 oz. / 1.25 liters of water. Yield is 8-9 liters of media. James

Up to you, this is a great media for an all in one if properly applied. I would say to start out with this and adjust your filtration accordingly. I use this in an AC 20 with filter floss, for my Pico.

Sorry to say I don't remember. However, the flow rate is quite good as it comes.

my suggestion is to watch the video from industry. I've been using it two years, love it!

I use the glass V60, the papers I found can constrict the flow. It fits perfectly but hard to use. I have a ceramic "beehouse" I'd recommend a bit more bc it flows better and you can't overflow.

you can probably have as much flow rate as you want. i just have to get it to connect with them pump

I ended up going with Adobe Premiere CS5. I'm setting up a two drive (2TB x2, 7200RPM) RAID-0 setup in an external enclosure hooked up via eSATA as a dedicated video editing drive. Hopefully this will allow everything to run nice and smooth. I'd like to edit in 1080/60p and then have the option to finalize in different formats. For now, either 720/60p or 1080/60i would likely make the most sense for Bluray authoring.

You can use any filter media you like with these marina filters - not just the cartridges. If it is loose media, I would recommend using a net bag or a bit of panty-hose to keep the bits from coming loose and getting into you tank.
