Check out this monster thread, and maybe if you feel like sifting through all 669 replies (currently) you can come back and let us know what you learned! http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=2526998 "Reefvet" is the biologist I was referring to earlier. I followed the thread for the first few pages, but not after that. |

Thanks for the link, I didn't read the whole post but also don't know why this topic is so debatable, there should be a simple before and after comparison to proof it works, or not.

Now, as I said earlier do you really NEED that much surface area, especially if you have ample live rock or other medias? I think the jury is still out, but you can never have too much, the question is whether that extra surface area allows anaerobic bacteria to live and/or thrive. Sera says on their site Siporax does work when used in large quantities. I know some guys online are using like three or four litres per ten gallons, which isn't exactly cheap and needs a lot of space. The other question is can you use biopellets or carbon dosing etc and a much smaller amount of media and achieve the same end result? Usually you can. Last edited by Myka; 08-11-2016 at 05:30 PM.

Just a note to clarify.
anaerobic by definition : Occurring in the absence of oxygen or not requiring oxygen to live. Anaerobic bacteria produce energy from food molecules without the presence of oxygen. |

I stand corrected... I think the same principle applies however

I use "Hydroton", it works fine for me. I've been using it for 5-6 years and I'm happy with it.

Hawaiian botanicals in richmond carries them. No clue as to their pricing, probably not cheap.

I just found BigShowFrags have them on sale for $10/L if anyone is still interested.

What is the most effective way to run siporax, in a media reactor or in a sock passively in the sump?
