Hello all -
I have a 36 gallon tank, and plan on using roughly 50 lbs of live rock and a 1 inch bed of live sand. I will be using a protein skimmer.
I know that I need a certain amount of water movement. If I used just powerheads to achieve the desired amount, would I need any sort of filtration? From what I've read here and on other sources, I shouldn't need any additional bio filtration, but would my water quality suffer if I didn't use some sort of mechanical or chemical filtration?
Thank you in advance!
