Is that an add-on IOS filtration system?

Firstly, BB thrive best in a zero light environment. Cover up the compartment with black omaya to achieve that. Unfortunately one side will still be exposed becoz you can't paste it inside the tank.

You need mechanical filtration to reduce maintenance work on the bio-media. Try to buy some black sponge and cut them to fit tightly above the biohome. This is to trap large particles or the bio-media will clog up quickly.

That should be good enough....

Or remove the IOS and use two sponge filters can leow. tongue.gif
