I tried BB once and I could never get my phosphates and nitrates under control. Once I went back to sand I guess it gave more surface for good bacteria to grow.. And nitrates and phosphates leveled out.
in case I go for rinsing (i will do some more reading) do we from VIc have to worry about using our tap water, ore would I havve to make 200gal of RO/DI water to rins it out
