I think we found our new sig maker hehe I used to run a fluval and when I did I just ran the foam and carbon but would not use carbon 24/7. only once in a while. I mainly used the Fluval as a place to put phosphate sponges and carbon and if I wasn't running either then the Fluval was not running at all. Mechanical filters are not always needed for a reef system as they tend to produce Nitrate if not maintained weekly. with enough LR and not too many waste producing fish one should not need a mechanical filter. _________ started 8/7/02 370G 3x400W MH + 8X36W T5.
