Hey y'all,
Considering I always change about 40% of the water bi weekly on a 10 gallon reef... Does anyone think it's still necessary to use a filter pad?
On a past forum, one member made a good point that filter pads will trap all the pods in the pad and be thrown away in each maintenance...
I remember not using a pad wayyyy back in my jbj 12.. it worked out fine. But then again it was just a zoa only tank.
I do believe in running carbon or gfo if needed... But a pad.. I mean I'm only changing it out after each water change.. so the whole two weeks, it just sits there. Won't that be the same as not having one at all?
Thoughts fellow nano reefers?
Anyone here don't use filter pads?
Thanks!
