Hi
Am in the process of setting up my first planted tank, it'll be a sumped elos120 at approx 350 litres, it was previously one of my reef setups....
ln the marine world it's common to have an internal filter sponge or in my case an internal filter running in the sump, the filter can then be taken out and used to cycle a qt tank when and as reqd. Just had a thought, l have a koi pond, part of the filtration system is fluidised k1. Any body see any issues with some of the said k1 going in an internal and being used to cycle / seed my planted set ups filtration system. Obviously there's parasites to think about, have had no such issues for a long, long time, all koi are fit and very healthy.....
