Sorry for the confusion.
I removed the word 'filter.'



If someone voted no because of that word, PM me and I will change the vote.

Do have a AquaC EV-180 running on 125 gal.

No skimmer on my Nano.

Don't think my 125 would last a week without one running 24/7 as I have it waaaay overloaded with fish.

I use a Coral Life 125 which I'm not exactly thrilled with, but I suppose it gets the job done. I don't use filter floss anywhere.

I use a cpr194 sump with integrated skimmer. I don't use any socks or, other type of mesh mechanical filters. I also don't use chemicals ,such as, carbon. My filtration is all natural with the exception of the skimmer. "All natural" sounds so Oregon.
