Its pretty basic filtration I will take pics of under my tank soon of my set up and get some better close up pics, I have only been in the hobby a year and a few months, I have alot to learn, all my pump and skimmer are oceanic and I replace the carbon bags every 3 months, My tank still isnt as clear as I would like, but im still learning. I just ordered some testing strips to make testing my water easy to.
