What is everyone using as filtration ????

Just a topic, This is no way a right or wrong way to do things. just wondering what everyone is using at the moment and what you like the most of each.

So for my 60 cube im using the sc150 skimmer (clone of bubble magus nac7) and now the Algae turf scrubber but that will take a few more weeks to kick in really. In the past i use good skimmer and refugium.

what reactors and products and equipment is everyone using for filtration ???

AquaC Remora Pro Skimmer. Chaeto in the fuge. And Xenia for phosphate export.

Yes I know. Not the best skimmer, but hey nitrates and phosphate are always at zero.

I am currently running SCA-302, macro algae, and a bag of carbon. For my 150 it will be either SCA-302 or octopus skimmer, Macro-algae, and lanthanum chloride(filtered mechanically), and maybe turf scrubber.

we still got it but from what i've read a gfo reactor does the same thing and is easier to get going when we were running the turf scrubber only half the screen was covered with turf
