Universe555 Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I have decided, after my nano cube arrived broken, to go a more tradional route for my reef. I am getting a 20 gallon tank and using a coralife lamp; 2x65w. How do I filter the thing... I know I need a skimmer and some jets for circulation... will have live rock and sand so... what else do I need for filtration? Thanks all. Link to comment
schaferfred Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 From all the info that I have gathered extra filtration is not needed because the live rock takes care of that. I personally am adding some extra filtration to my ten gallon via an aquaclear with the foam block and some chemipure. This will add a little extra filtration along with the added water movement. I am still new to this but have been reading a lot for the last couple of months. Link to comment
jaguilar Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 choosing to go with the 20 gallon over the nanocube was a good idea. as far as filtration goes, you shouldn't even need a protein skimmer. if you keep up with your water changes, than it won't even be necessary. but it would be a good idea to get a hob filter. not only for water movement, but to run carbon when necessary. i have an aquaclear200 and i run just chemi-pure in it 24/7. the filter media and low grade carbons that come with the filters usually cause more harm than good. most people run their filters empty. but i believe chemi-pure is the best carbon out there, and it can be run continuosly without any ill effects.
