I was curious to find out if I need mechanical filtration on my 20 gal mini reef if I already have 24 lb of LR, LS, and a good skimmer? _________ http://evanged.googlepages.com/reef

The good skimmer, LR, and LS should work just fine for you. _________ 180 Gal Reef, AquaC EV-400, 3 MH Aquamedic Oceanlight HQI's 250w 20k. Neptune AquaController III, AquaLogic Trimline Cyclone 1/3hp skimmer, 2 x hydor #4's, 2 x mj1200's modded, 40 gal fuge.
