i'm confused whether i should use UGF for my 10gal nano tank...
the LFS recommended yes, and i read some info about UGF , which stats it's good for BB built up...
but at the same time i also read one article which says UGF is a nono to marine tank ...
so, guys i need your personal advices + experiences to tell me whether i should or not ?
2nd Q) My tank has been cycling for almost one month and i have one ocellaris in now ... and it looks fine ! .. but i found some brown algae attached on the glass !! how shall i clear them off ? they are growing fast !!
3rd Q) my tank size is 60cm(W) x 30cm x 30cm , is it 10gal ? just wan to confirm my calculation .... so how many watt of light do i need ? and what kind of light do i need, if i wan to put some hardy mushrooms / corals in my nano tank ?
4th Q) How many LR do i need ? currently i have about 6kg of LR + 2-3 inch think mixture of crushed corals + fine sand ... will this have enough space for the BB to grow and maintain a stable water condition ? is it considered as a berlin method which using just only LR to denitrifying ?

Quoted from http://www.arofanatics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=77883However, certain filters like the UGF are generally not acceptable in marine tanks because of detritus build-up in the gravel/crushed coral bed and clogging of the filter plates. You'll just have to keep telling yourself time and time again : "Think Biological, BUT think carefully".
