SRC Member Jidan Posted February 28, 2018 SRC Member Share Posted February 28, 2018 Im currently running a sumpless tank with everything HOB. Will be upgrading to a RSR 170 and browsed the net for builds. Have a few questions in mind and would like to ask for advice. Im thinking of a mixed reef or lps/softies. Skimmer: Reef Octopus 110 Space Saving Lightning: AI Hydra 26 HD *Still deciding* Flow: MP10 or Tunze 6055 (Quantity??) Is the integrated ATO sufficient? Is GFO necessary? If so which bio reactor? Or what kinds? Im confused with them. Chiller: Hailea 28a Is there anything i should? My budget around 2k plus minus excluding the light as i already have them.

SRC Member Jidan Posted March 1, 2018 Author SRC Member Share Posted March 1, 2018 Went to buy the tank today and 170 went out of stock, got a nano instead. Coming next week and i cant wait!Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member soggycookies Posted March 1, 2018 SRC Member Share Posted March 1, 2018 You can try a fluidized media reactor for activated carbon and/or GFO. They have them in stock at madpetz and you can get the mini BulkReefSupply reactor at reefing reality. GFO helps a lot with keeping your phosphates and silicates(which are one of many pest algae’s favorite nutrient) in check, so for a reef tank(or any display tank actually), they’re definitely worthwhile Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
