biocube 14 question???

[johnnymisty]

Ok ive got a biocube 14 going for my daughter and I am wondering since it has the built in wet dry in the back using co2 is not gonna work and Im not sure if its because of the bio balls really or what. But my question is if I remove the bio balls and put a sponge back there instead along with filter floss would that work to be able to run co2 on the tank?

its not the bioballs per se that cause the CO2 to be purged from the water, its the wet/dry action. if the water is still trickling across the floss and being allowed to mix with air then it will be exchanging O2 for CO2. you would need to figure out how to flood the filter area and set it up like a canister.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Ok it was a thought I had. I figured it had to do with the waterfall type action well maybe ill flood it and put a canister filter on it instead when I'm ready to run co2 in the future

i have been using the zoo med 501 cannister and i like it, the finnex fx360 is another good small can.
