Sumpless Skimmerless systems lets see them?

yama63 · 09/20/2006, 09:21 PM

I'm setting up a skimmerless and sumpless system would like to hear what people are doing?

Haven't decided if i will go seahorse FOWLR or low light softy tank.
I was thinking of some macros to help with nutrient export??

Been skimmerless and sumpless for 5 years now. Macro algae plays a vital role in export for my tanks.

Here is a link to to my latest pics.

How is your tank Aquabucket? It's a beautiful one. I remember the controversy about your system when you posted your thread. So things are still stable?

Could not be better! Just posted some macro shots that were taken yesterday in my thread. Hope you like them!

Wow that awsome wheres all the macro algae?

I have place wads of chaeto behind the rockwork. You can also see a nice red macro at the bottom left of the tank.

Very nice tank, are you using a DSB?
