Reefing newb
Hey everyone,
Every time I ask a question, a new one pops in my head. I am trying to decide if I want to take the easy way and go with a Nano Cube tpye premade system, or do it the old school will and build my system in parts. I have read that all of the biological filtration comes from your LR and LS which is awesome. I have also read that protein skimmers are not needed as the water changes take care of that. My question is this, I have heard that power filters or canisters are not a good idea because they can store detritus and cause spikes in water quality. How do you mechanically filter a nano reef? I was thinking of using a power HOB filter with some crystal floss in it and just clean it out every few days? Would this work or am I better to not have any mechanical filtration at all?
Sorry again for the non stop questions lol :)
