I have a Nuvo fusion nano 20gal. I have an empty compartment in the rear of my tank. what should I use it for? I was thinking something for filtration but what. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks for the help. I have a caddy with carbon in it, is it ok to add more? what is filter floss? I have a filter sock on one side and removed because it was nasty. I put some filter pad in that chamber. I've got room in the back looking for options.

It might be good for cheato or a small skimmer.

I agree with saving it for a purpose as needed. You may need that for some po4 reduction at some point or possibly extra mechanical filtration. I think it's nice to have a spare chamber to use depending on your tanks needs at the time.

I have a mini skimmer. I want to get zoas again but have trouble with them growing or even living in my tank. I test and do water changes. everything else grows but those.

Start them in low light high blues, Low on whites with moderate water flow. Add lugols iodine to water.
