Cycling my first marine fowlr.... 3+ weeks. Will be adding a Reef Octopus 4 skimmer Wednesday (if it arrives...fingers crossed).
Tank: 65g with 20g sump/fuge. Lots of Pukani rock in DT; some in fuge and will be adding chaeto and some other macroalgae soon...perhaps with 1" mud? (The mud is debatable as there is so much debate on substrates in refugiums.) Will post photos.
Water is RO/DI. Salinity currently: 1.025 (but may reduce to 1.024). ASW: Reef Crystals but am going to segue to Instant Ocean starting with first pwc.
Return pump is at about 500 gph. Hydor 750 powerhead in tank.
About carbon:
I'm getting conflicting advice on using activated carbon filtration, so I am firmly on the fence - ambivalent and willing to do best practice.
Anyone with advice or experience is welcome to join in here!
Looking forward to the varying opinions pro & con... and how-to best do it if I were to add activated carbon filter.
