Default Re: Ecosystem Filters

I used to have a wet/dry on my 90. I switched to a eco-system 2 months ago. The difference is unbelievable. Besides my corals doing real well, my tank for the first time has 0 nitrates. I always had around 10ppm with my wet/dry. I think the secret is that I have 65wts(updated from 18wts that came with the eco) of lighting on my ecosystem on 24/7. My calurpra is growing like crazy and looks like a jungle. The calurpra takes all the unwanted nutrients from the water which helps keep my nitrates at 0, and I finally have no unwanted hair algae as well. I no longer use a skimmer, and still do a 10% water change every 2 weeks which they say is not needed as often with a eco system. I would recommend a ecosystem to all. I will post some pictures soon.
