poly filter

Beau is hosting the January Meeting this coming Saturday the 14th at 6PM.  It will be BYOB as well as a snack to share and raffle items are always welcome.  It has been requested that there be “NO SHOES” on the carpet due to it being a whitish color.

He doesn’t have a tank to view but we will have plenty to discuss in hopes that it will get the NEW YEAR off to a good start.  The annual membership fees are due, so now would be a good time to get them in to our Treasurer Stacey Hahn.   Fees are $20 per individual or $25 per family

Attendance was low at the election meeting in November and no votes were taken at December’s meeting so we have decided to take votes for anyone that didn’t get the opportunity in November and will be attending this meeting.  
We will add the votes to November’s ballots and the announcement will be made during the meeting so we can go forward.
NOMINATIONS:
President:  Jim & Nacho
V. President: Ed, Bo & Daniel Leigey
Treasurer: Stacey
Secretary: Carmen & Angie

Let’s hope the New Year brings new members, returning members and new ideas.  The club is always willing to take suggestions to get the most out of the hobby we all enjoy.

The poly filter is supposed to remove phosphates, nitrates, ammonia, silicates, and more. I need something to remove nitrates and would like to have no phosphates or silicates. Dose it really remove these things?

They help, but aren't a cure.  Best thing for nitrates is water change and more live rock, your pictures didn't look like you have very much.  The rock is the main filtration your tank has, the bacteria that lives on it is what you need to cause the nitrification cycle.

Poly filters are typically used when you need to remove contaminate such as copper, aluminum, or heavy metals.  They will remove ammonia and some phosphates.

Last Saturday, I learned Poly Filters and filter socks do something else.   They catch animals suspended in water column.   They are one way of filtering out predestations in your water column.
