    Do you run Carbon? GFO? Purigen? Other Chemical Filter Media?

    Simple question: What chemical filter media are you running? I am currently running NONE in my tank, have run a reactor in the past with carbon & GFO, but found it a hassle. Have run purigen as well. Looking forward to the answers!
