I have a 75gal tank with everything from xinea and mushrooms to clams and frog spawn.
Ol ya, plus the fish and dragons...you know! :happyfish
Now let me tell you what to do!!........
We are all on here talking about NATURAL, NATURAL, NATURAL. If you ask someone what the best thing to do is...lighting, filtering, sizing it's all the same. What would they be getting in nature. We all want the best looking tank at the most affordable price; no matter how much money we have or how big our tank is. We also want something we can sit back and put things in with confidence they will not only live but grow..........without all the work!
:thinking: :thinking: :thinking:
What would make a filterless system. We have the skimmer replacating the oceans waves, the strongest lights compeating with the sun, powerheads to move like the oceans tide. Then we throw a ton of pads in a tank and call it a filter?
We use our knowledge to make devices that repicate a natural movement. This my sound crazy and maybe even un-do-able. We put these little 2,3,10gal refugiums on our tanks and call it a help. I have just added a refugium to one of my tanks and I can see in a week healthier corals, fish, and better control of my water. We don't mind going out and buying a $100 worth of chemicals to make the water do what we want...ph's up-down...nitrate reducers...alge eliminaters....don't let me get into trace elemments; what about an extra few bucks up front and leave it natural. We as humans would die without trees and vegitation...but we through a bunch of animals into a tank and shoot them up on "
[hr]
" so they feel "normal".
TAIR THIS THREAD UP WITH YOUR THOUGHS...TRY TO USE YOUR FACTS NOT YOUR "HEAR SAYS". WE ALL ARE HERE FOR ONE THING "A PIECE OF THE OCEAN" . ????'S - ANSWERS - PERSONAL HARD KNOCKS
*I want to know can you use a refugium as a natural filter system that TOTALLY makes a great tank?
*Has anyone ever tried??
*Would the size be fezzable???
*What plants/ animals would need to be in it to make it a well rounded system????
