Hi all. I recently picked up a used 130D. It’s in great shape but have a couple questions.
First my background. Been keeping fowlr tanks for 10 plus years. Current is a 150 fowlr with all the extra equipment you can imagine.
This is my first foray into BioCube and my goal is to build this out as a coral show piece.
1) it’s got a single pump that looks stock. Is there a way to identify the pump and the gph? I’m thinking of scrapping anyway and finding something with about 500gph flow but if the original is good enough ok.
2) I see people talk about a media shelf but I can’t find anything for the 130d in google. Anyone got a link? I’ve Frankenstein’ed my own before but if there is something made specifically for the 130d all the better.
3) ceramic rings? Yes or no? ( no bio balls for me )
Plan on using some floss for pre filter, skimmer, carbon, and something else.
Tia guys and great reading all you post.
