So I’ve recently set up my Red Sea XL 200 and I’m deciding on whether or not to run an actual Carbon Reactor or just have a bag of it in my sump?
Also, for the tank, would I be able to get away with a Flame Angel or Coral Beauty? (It’s 42 gal)

Bag will work just fine. Flame or coral beauty should be fine as well in that tank. They could nip at corals. best of luck !!

I would run a reactor. Bags never got me very far unless strategically placed to maximize flow through them.

Brs makes a nice simple reactor. Even a mini.

Also. With the angel, youll want to weigh if its worth it if you want coral in the future and arent scared of them nipping
