Wet/dry and CO2 reactor

[plantbrain]

Planted tank sump+ CO2 reactor:
I have a wet/dry filter with a tupperware sump(18gal), 6 gallon bioball media, drip tray with plenty of room for media, floss etc, a nice 870gph pump, a nice 15"x2.5 CO2 reactor for the sump, an Amirical prefilter, hosing, will fit under 24 inches, has cut in sump for access. Has about 10+gallon evaporation reserve. Used 4 months. Basically new condition. 130$ OBO includes shipping.
Good for 75-150gal.

Email off list.

Just a quick question:

Wouldn't a WD be counterproductive in a fastgrow setup with CO2 where you have to add NO3 ?

No, wet/drys are good NH4=>NO3 filters.

If you have a larger fish load these are better since NO3 is far more benign than NH4 as far as algae goes and for the fish. But I only have a few native fish. I don't need it. It's overkill on my tank.

The wet/drys are better able to handle big hacks and replanting etc.
Check out George Booth's site of you are interested in Wet/drys on planted tanks.
