I would leave the carbon option open in the RSM as you may need it. | |

If you gave me a oceanic bio-cube I'd trade it for a JBJ in a heartbeat Oceanic doesnt even manufacture them they contract it out and stick their names on it.
RSM is 100% the best 1 box Reef solution I've ever seen
Personally I own a JBJ due to the fact I paid as much for my tank, LR, LS and other stuff as what just this tank cost | |
