[plipp697]

I have been to many Aquariums shops and they all give me different answers i want to know what is a good filter system or what has worked for you for a successful reef aquarium

I use a skimer,live rock and live sand,and a fuge and a sump.That's it.

First...Wlecome to the forums. Always great to see new members!
I prefer to use a basic filtration system that consists of LR/LS/sump/skimmer...and a refugium...plus I think it helps to have a fairly high current that is random and chaotic.. I tend to avoid any type of mechanical filtration. For me its worked real well.

LR and LS. I also use a powerfilter mainly for circulation and to run carbon.
