Filtration: How many ways do you filter your reef aquarium?

[Terry165]

I initially voted 3-4. But when I started typing I realised I should of voted the 11+ ways. Maybe an overkill on my behalf.

Clarisea Filter
Nyos Skimmer
Tunze Algae Reactor
Seachem Matrix Carbon
GFO
Aqua Forest Bio Fil
Marine Pure Blocks
Aqua Medic UV Sterilizer
Carbon
CO2 Scrubber
Aqua Forest Bio S Pro

All corals and sponges are messing with C, N and P, so . . . lots.

 

[Brian W]

Filter Sock
Skimmer
Rocks
Sand
Filter Sponge
Filter Floss
Marine Pure
Carbon

Not sure if these count:
Sponges
CUC

Live rock and flow

The plan:

Refugium
Protein Skimmer
Live rock
Filter socks

 

[Djluster]

Think I would be at 5 if you include live rock/sand.

1. Biological - live rock in display as well as some in sump, sand
2. Mechanical - filter socks
3. Mechanical - skimmer
4. Chemical - chemi-pure Blue & DE-Nitrate
5. Biological - chaeto refugium

2. List all the ways you are filtering your reef aquarium and include the names of any filtration equipment that apply.
1. Rocks in display
2. Filter socks
3. Skimmer

5. Activated Carbon
6. GFO
