Skimmer, fuge or skimmer and fuge

Fuge, Skimmer or both


I realize that there are many other components/combinations to a filter system but I am interested in these components. So if you have a skimmer with bio-balls please vote skimmer or a fuge with carbon please vote fuge, etc.

Thanks for voting!

Out of 20+ people only 4 use either a skimmer or fuge. Is it really that few??????????

Do the majority of people not modify or add a fuge/skimmer to their system?

12 gallon nano jbj--macro algae only right in the tank, no fuge, no skimmer, plus carbon in 3rd chamber. 2 small fish
16 gallon bowfront--3 fish. bak pak skimmer (no balls) and aquaclear 30 filter. macro directly in tank, no fuge.

[sivob]

what kind of macro do you have in your displays?

If it's a reef setup most wouldn't use bioballs in their skimmers. Running skimmers also depends on what kind of coral you want. You should check out www.garf.org. :)

I prefer a large fuge and small skimmer. I run a aquac ramora on my 120

most people would choose both. if you want to see which one more people like u should take out the option of both.

5.5 gallon with AC300 w/ fuge mod fill with LR and macro algae

i would would run both, if i had the room too... no bio-balls not in a reef.
