No, like MarinePure media or Seachem matrix. Basically you give bacteria an extra place to grow, they are porous and have tons of surface area. You just put them in a high flow area (media basket for me). I use a lot in my freshwater, and in my reef as well. Kinda like having a bunch of extra rock in your tank to keep things stable, but without significantly reducing your water volume. I don’t run a skimmer or a fuge, my tank needs all the help it can get lol
I didn’t do any of that. I just gave them 80lbs of dry rock.
You should get that killer $60 hob skimmer on Amazon.
When I didn’t have a sump, I looked everywhere to find a decent hob skimmer. That was the only one I could find with good reviews.
