Re: Large tank filtration
I have a wet/dry filter on my 200 gallon planted tank. CO2 consumption is
a little high, a 20 pound tank lasts roughly 3 months which works out to $4
per month. This seems like a reasonable cost to me in view of the size of
the tank.
This is a reef ready tank with two internal overflow boxes and it appears
that most of the CO2 is lost in the turbulence of the overflow boxes rather
than the wet/dry filter. I measured the pH in the overflow boxes and the
sump to see how much CO2 was driven off in each but I can't remember the
exact numbers. If anyone is interested I'll repeat the measurement.
