What's latest trend in physical and chemical filtration?
Physical:
-To skim or not to skim on nano? -Filter bags/foam to remove detritus? Chemical: - Phosband - phosphate removers - GAC - Granular Activated Carbon Nutrient Exports: - Water changes? - Algae scrubbers? - Chaeto?

I personally wouldn't skim in a nano. Water changes should be enough depending on the size of the nano. I use filter floss in my tank and try to change out weekly but is a futile attempt. Lol.
I mostly have softies and a few lps like a hammer and a torch. It was a macro algae tank but they mostly died. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk |

Thanks for advice. I love macro algae too. Any idea why yours died on you? Lack of nutrients or light? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Probably a lack of nutrients..and a lack of time..Lol. I'm pretty good at the beginning but then my maintenance drops off after a few months as I get distracted
