Sponge for Eheim 2262

[SunnyHouTX]

Wondering whether 20 ppi Poret sponge is too fine for the bottom of my canisters. What do y'all think?

[fishman1]

I think thats too fine but I'm not sure. I think 30ppi is shrimp safe.

[SunnyHouTX]

Not for shrimp so not worried about that. Next option is 10ppi

[Totenkampf]

maybe go with a 10ppi, some efimech, and then a 30ppi? the rena filstars use a 20ppi then a 30ppi but thats not poret.

he is selling a 45ppi for shrimp now, but i am sure thats just for HMF

[SunnyHouTX]

I dunno about the 30 ppi though...

Think I'll do a 10ppi at the bottom and a 20ppi on top of everything.

[eklikewhoa]

That's what I would do Sunny, seeing as though you like mechanical filtration, maybe even double up on the 20ppi

I was going to do the same thing with my 2262. I am more concerned with dimensions though lol.

[SunnyHouTX]

If we order 13"x13" pieces, those will work for the 2262 canisters.

LOL what is this WE you got a frog in your pocket... 13"x13" doesn't leave much room for error when making it round...

[SunnyHouTX]

Me and you, frog. I can cut it just right

[sunkenmetal]

sure you don't want me to cut it. I want to use it just as the coarse filter at the bottom and in my river manifold.
