  • HOB - Canisters

    Let's say I want to change my HOB to canisters how long should I run both to establish a colony in my canister? Right now I'm running two tetra 30 on a 29 gal, & two tetra 60 & a 60 gal sponge I'm my 62 gal.

    will the canister have new filter media? If so, I would give it about 2weeks to be safe. It might not take that long, but couldnt hurt it.

        Thanks I was thiking that but I wasn't sure I heard somewhere that I takes something like a month to establish a canaster from a seeded tank

        aslo I don't guess there is anyway I could over filter ? Just too much current. Also will that shock the fish?

            How much fishes do you have in each tank?

            What type are they?

            What do you feed them?

            I would stick some media in the HOBs that I plan to use in the canister.
            I ate my fish that died.

                After about 2 weeks you could remove the HOB's but I would take it easy on your next couple waterchanges and not clean a filter, or deep vaccum gravel, or remove more than 50% water
