Jonathan 40 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I have a Nanocube 24 and was wondering the best way to setup the chambers for filtration. I am currently using the filtration it came with. I've have been reading a lot of forums and hearing a lot of different advice. It's a little confusing. Link to comment
itsamaybe Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 You could start with some sort of mechanical filtration like filter floss or a protein skimmer, if it fits in your chambers. Many people also like to follow up with some sort of chemical filtration like GAC/GFO, Chemipure (elite), purigen, etc. Some people also grow macro algae and prune it in order to trap excess nutrients. And finally, some people run very little filtration at all and solely rely on frequent water changes. I hope this helps! Link to comment
clownfitch Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I run a nano skimmer, live rock rubble, and biweekly 20% water changes in both my 21 month old 29 gallon biocube and 10 month old Spec V. The 65 mixed reef is a totally different story though. lol Lots of ways to skin a cat.... Find one that compliments how much time and money you care to spend on maintenance coupled with the type of livestock you plan to keep. What are your stocking plans? ie. coral, fish, and or inverts Link to comment
Jonathan 40 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Thanks for the help, A lot of people have asked but I haven't see a definite answer, is there a protein skimmer that works in a Nanocube 24 with the canopy? Link to comment
Jonathan 40 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Sorry I didn't see the stocking question. I was planning on a pair of clownfish, a watchman goby and pistol shrimp then adding coral slowly. I have had the tank running for three weeks and have 2 margarita snails, 2 bumblebee snails and 2 blue leg hermits. Link to comment
