Originally Posted by promisetbg Here a couple pics of my 65.This tank uses no mechanical filtration...it relies on the rock,live sand,clean-up crew and refugium to keep it clean...no filter media is needed. Beatiful!!!! Hope one day for mine to look even half as good as yours. So do you use...

Anyone?

Someone told me that they have a small sump and then a completely separate refug because that avoids the skimmer and such items from the sump to get dirty and have algae that would come from a connected refugium. Does this make sense? thanks
