Pro clear wet dry w/ pre filter

Hi,

I just was wondering if the pro clear wet dry 150 for a 55g saltwater tank is a good one. Also, if I remove the bio balls and add lv would the cycle restart again?

 

What is the Pro-Clear 150 rated for? Remember that you need to take into consideration your whole system. Tank, sump and refug if you have any of those. As far as exchanging the BB for LR, you stand a good chance of starting a mini cycle. Remember the the Bacteria is also in your LS and LR thats in your DT.

What do you mean rated for? I dont have a refug, and isnt a sump and wet dry filter mean the same? what do you mean by DT?

 

How many Gallons is it rated for?
A sump and a W/D are similar, but not the same.
DT= Display Tank

150 gallons, that the 150 with 600gph,
noted on the sump and wet filter
noted on the DT

 

can u explain the difference between both sump and wd

 

A sump is usually a tank that has enough space to hold a skimmer, return pump(RP), heater and any other equipment that one doesnt want to be seen.

A W/D is the same with the addition of a pre-filter pad, felt pad or a sponge to catch any floating debris. A tray for some Carbon and a space for Bio Balls(BB) or Live Rock(LR)

but this w/d has a skimmer, not certain of the rp...please explain what does the rp does.

 

RP=return pump

You dont know what a RP does?
