Hi All,
I'm planning on setting up a 30cm optiwhite cube with an aquascape much like George Farmer's "Little Mountain". For the start up I'll be requiring some absorbative filtration for my Eheim 2324 as i will be using ADA Aqua Soil which produces quite a bit of ammonia in the initial stage. I wanted to know what is the difference between the two other than pricing and which is the most effective.
Looking to use 2L of the stuff and a fine filter pad for the top basket and just coarse filter sponges for the bottom basket (coz I think the eheim mech isn't effective for filtering large debris) for the first 4 weeks to remove the impurities in the initial setup. And the I'll be replacing the carbon media with the Substrat Pro for biological filteration added to the biological/mechanical filtering of the coarse sponges.
The Karbon happens to be the cheapest as it costs under £10 and the Aktiv is around £24 both prices are for 2L.
What are your views people?
