Where is my bacteria?

Justice Bucket · May 6th, 2009

What percentage of beneficial bacteria is on my substrate?

Is it like 70% filter Media and 30% Substrate and other stuff in the tank?

I have an aquaclear 70 and a whisper 10 on a 29 gallon if that helps...

Hi JB,
Im not sure if there is an 'exact' percentage number for your question. But to say that the most percent of Beneficial bacteria is in the filter is correct, with the rest spread out between the substrate, decorations.
