Using 5 gallon container still. One bag of filter material and one bag of DI resin lying in the bottom, weighted down by culls. I am still using the old fashioned filter, with DI resin. Using 3 6" air stones, and a 10" bubble wand.
My previous setup seemed to have less results than the small tank... so I was thinking it was the filter media bags. The coins may have been too scrunched up in the bags, and/or water flow was minimal.
I bought some wire mesh organizers, 6" x 9" which have a lot larger mesh. I bolted 2 together on top of each other leaving about 1" between the trays, and suspended them by wire from the lid. I will change the wire to a bolt whenever I get to the hardware store. On the other side, is a single tray which is also suspended with wire. I could only put one tray on that side because the filter is too tall and didn't have the space.
The coins are single layered pretty much, and the bubbles go trhough the wire mesh pretty well.
Let's see how this one goes.
I added the bolts through the lid today, and received some coins from a local dealer here in Bloomington. I picked these 11 coins at random from the mix. They weigh 44.9 grams to begin with, and are completely dry. Soaking will probably add some weight initially, since the coins will most likely absorb some water.
