    Got a small frogspawn not too long ago, and had it in a BC14 and within 3 hours of putting it in the BC14 it opened up and was very nice looking. Put it in my 2h tank and 2 days later its still all closed and not so nice looking. My yellow colony polyps have been in my 20h for almost a year...

    Crazy algae

    Hmm i suppose i could swing that Last i tested they were at .001 ppm or something very close to that With a big reactor i wouldnt think phosphate would be an issue Im considering using biopellets instead of the gfo See if maybe that makes a difference at all Gfo is expensive around here anyway...

    Best skimmer

    Bugdet is a huge issue on this topic Been reading up on CADlights skimmers, They are expensive but the reviews on them seem to be really good And they are great space savers with the pump located UNDER the skimmer

    Biocube filtration

    No prob There may be different opinions, im just not a fan of bioballs but lots of people share my view
  21. Jacobsal91

    Biocube filtration

    Well bioballs wont help with water clarity It basically does the same thing as live rock but not as good of a job I would put chemipure and live rock rubble in a media bag and place where the bioballs are Other than that id say you are in good shape

    Biocube filtration

    If its a reef my main sugestions would be getting a small skimmer and removing the bio balls, bioballs create high levels of nitrate and a skimmer removes tons of organic garbage

    Bio filter
