Hi guys, so i am confused on what to do here...
i have a30 gallon, with 2 powerheads, t5 HO lghting, no skimmer at the moment.
since i had no skimmer i ran 2 hang on bac filters, one with carbon, bio balls, and sponge... and the other is just media.
anyways, one of my hang on filters broke and the propeller will not turn... so its just running media filter...
Im wondering since i have about 20lbs of live rock if that would be ok with the one filter...
Should i put bio balls in media filter? i have been hearing that they are a nitrate storage with them... not sure what to do. im looking at getting a skimmer ASAP... just need to know what to do since i only have one filter, or if thats ok since i have some live rock.
im just worried due to my high nitrates... i have about 9 corals... all hardy ones. and 2 demsels... my inverts ( hermit crabs) keeep getting eating by my other ones due to me watching the feeding ( every other day)
kinda stuck...n neeed some help!!!!!
Thanks everyone!
