Jose,
Thanks for all this info, VERY informative & very reassuring for us BB users out there. I'll have to ask Pam at Avenue Fisheries what her KH is next time i'm in there, as her stocking densities are at times quite high, also her turnover rates etc, for info.
Thanks & regards,

Hiya Scotty, I'd agree in parts what you've said about bead filters, As to the crap lodging in them, not a problem if you backwash regularly(daily, on a timer, twice on a saturday), but isn't not carrying out regular maintenance a no-no on all filters, even K1? Secondly, pumps.....Yes, I was on a sw...

Gazza, If you've got no foam coming out, either you've not got much protein in the qt, or you could try fiddling with the air, either more or less. I know I don't have mine running all the time now, perhaps once a week/fortnight, depending how things go, or how the water looks...Easy tho, aren't the...

Andy, Sorry for late reply, but here we go! Firstly, similar to a sand filter? In a fashion. Basically, all the bead filters work by having a pressure vessel filled with floating beads of a small size, normally 3-4mm dia. When water is pumped into the base or side of the filter, the beads float to t...

For me No2 is ready now, No 1 has got more to come, and thats what makes it difficult! I voted for 2 because a) it floats my boat b) No1 has a fair bit more to go c) I'm an impatient bugger and no2 is a corker. I think you've got the best of both worlds tho, A cracking fish now, and a potentially ev...

Looks good Bob, Where do you obtain your food-grade plastic sheet from, I'm doing a filter build for my skimmer at the mo, and will need sheet as well as mesh ( which I've already sorted)? Another query, what pipework do you use for the air ring, and how is it connected up to an air pump? I think I ...
