Water Purification
 

I assumed that skimming would be the first choice of most people. Please explain your preferred method, and if skimming isn't your first choice, why.

you left out refugium.

Yep. Refugium all the way. :wink:

Ditto that, but does refugium include mangrove? Cause thats what I would do, fuge/mangrove combo.

Infact, I want to try that on a large tank, lol.

I vote large macro fuge as well

Live rock cause that what I use now :mrgreen:

Macro (chaeto, red halimenia & prolifera) & lowered feeding rates.

I voted other.

I would do a fuge/berlin style sump with a refersed flow fluidized sandbed to optimize bacterial cultures.

i just used carbon and that's it......now it got a skimmer a year ago and i notice alot less algea.I had a eclipse canopy with 2 n/o 15 watt and "3 stage" filter on the 20, I have had my 20 gal since i was 12..... now 20. i never knew about all this info. on the net it really helps out lots!!!!!!

did this statement come from a reef word generator? it doesnt even make sense.
