I have no mechanical filtration of any kind on any of my tanks..My sand bed and live rock do it. I use hob filters ( Aqua Clear brands) without media for current flow or a place to put ac etc, not filter media, and the power heads provide nothing but current flow, and nitrate or other junk has never been a problem for me. I maintain all reef and reef w/fish tanks. All have surface skimmers or protein skimmers.

Sump or no sump. Look on the side of the filter package when buyig a filter it will tell you how many Gallons per hour (GPH) it does. Are you guys talking about reef tanks ? I am confused... This recomendation would be agains the reef tank idea. Maybe fish only tanks ? I would say I have to heartily disagree with Wayne and Peter Pan, and very much agree with Pszemol. Mechanical filtration for a reef tank = bad. ------- I forgot more about ponds and koi than I'll ever know! ------- I forgot more about ponds and koi than I'll ever know! |
