I was just wanting to know every ones opinion on what type of filtartion they use and why? I always have the people at the pet stores telling me to use just live rock in my 4 stage external canister filter. I use these pictured products.
here is my 4 stage canister filter are as fallowed.
1. prefilters
2 pura complete
3 Bioballs and prefilters
4 bioballs
I chose pura complete because it had alot of advances i thought with all the phospate removers and such, but i am being told its stealing from my reef. My mushrooms and all my fish all seem fine. It says change every 6 month but, i change every 5 and i never have had any problems. I am about to spend about $300 on live stock and want to make sure my take is tip top! I will dislplay at the conclusion. My final questions is is live rock better? if not what is? If not what do yall reccomend? p.s. 8oz on 50 gallon, i use 8 0z on my 30 gallon.
32 ounce size
Treats 200 Gallons for up to six months
PÛRA Complete is a blended media that provides the most complete aquarium pollutant control at low cost. Blended with 25% PhosLock for total phosphate and silicate control, virgin bituminous acid washed carbon,and cation exchangers for the control of ammonia and heavy metals, PÛRA Complete offers a truly impressive spectrum of activity. This product removes a broad range of organics like urine, phenols, coloring agents, odors, and proteins; a broad range of heavy metals like copper, lead, and mercury that accumulates over time from trace quantities found in all fish foods; a broad range of toxins like ammonia, formaldehyde and arsenic; and a broad range of aquarium scum promoters like phosphates, and silicates.
PÛRA Complete is fast acting, long lasting, and very effective in reef, marine, planted, and delicate freshwater aquaria. PÛRA Complete should be used in a fine meshed bag instead of plain carbon, and no additional "specialty media" are necessary to provide total, complete, and cost effective aquarium waste management.
Convenient to implement, comes with a 6" x 12" 300-micron media bag.
Here's the poop(little pun):

BENEFITS:
All-in-one convenience and simplicity. Maintains extremely low to non-measurable levels of phosphate and silicates thus greatly reducing propagation of algae.
