The Best filtration System???

[thauro77]

Does anyone know what will be the best filtration System for a reef tank? I got a 75gl tank and I have a sump system but I am not sure anymore that this is the best way to filtrate the water. I will prefer Something that is natural and beneficial for the fish and the corals and stuff. Please let me know. Thanks

try adding chaeto, mangroves and a mix of macro algaes to the sump, they work as a natural filter

Chaetomorpha is not English, it's Latin. You want English?...add some spaghetti algae...wait that's Italian.

Anyway, the chaeto (or chaetomorpha- pronounced kee toe morf uh)
You may be able to get this or other algaes at your local fish stores. Just ask what kind of macroalgaes they have. As for adding them, just add them in the sump where there is light and flow. Good Luck.

A turf scrubber will also work.

Here is a link on how to make a turf scrubber.
