I have a 37 gallon display tank with a small 11 gallon sump. I have 8 fish and some soft corals.
I test and most of my parameters are good, Magnesium, Calcium, Phosphates are close to zero my nitrates are about 20ppm. It was closer to 40 and not waiting until my filter socks were overflowing before changing them cut the nitrates in half.
The tank is in my living room and I would really hate to have a HOB skimmer. It messes up the elegance of the tank.
My second chamber is a refugium where Chaeto grows like crazy with miracle mud and the sump substrate. Should I take out the chaeto and put a skimmer in the middle chamber. The fit is tight but I think I can find one to fit there.
I tried the Tunze 9002 in the third chamber but it was too weak to pull anything.
