Loaded question

[AK707]

i scored a bunch of stuff for my nuvo 40 off a local fb page today for super cheap. Im not really sure if i need this stuff or the best way to incorporate it all into my system but it was a steal of a deal and i couldn't pass it up.
i got a couple media baskets, the innovative marine fuge light, innovative marine mid size reactor, a bunch of fish food, 2 mp10s, a ton of dosing chemicals, 2 of the spinning return pump nozzles, and some other stuff im forgetting.
im going to make a little fuge with a media basket using filter floss on top, chaeto in the middle with marine pure bio balls in the bottom
the fuge won't be very big but the lady i got all this from said it grew cheato like crazy so im sure it will lower nitrates and phosphorus.

my main question is what should i run in the reactor?

i dont have a skimmer and im currently using a filter sock and a media basket with filter floss, chemi pure blue and marine pure bio balls.

my end goal with this tank is about 7 fish, a few soft corals, mainly lps with a few sps down the road

any help would be appreciated

Chaeto will decrease NO3, PO4. If you can not keep your fuge, then thiinking about media.

You can use activated carbon in reactor, if you want

So it looks like i can run gfo and carbon in the same reactor...i think im going to try that. then i can go away with my chemi pure blue at $18 per bag and throw more marine pure bio balls in that caddy
