I disagree on the carbon, it should be run 24/7/365 in all systems especially someone just getting started. Carbon is cheap insurance and helps keep water quality in check. It is especially good if you keep a mixed reef including softies like leathers along with some LPS and SPS as they will be having constant chemical warefare or battles for dominance. The carbon adsorbs much of what they secrete into the water and makes things managable. I have systems both with and without and the ones with carbon and GFO are much easier to take care of, look much healthier and the water coloration is much more clear.

You are correct with the carbon, think I meant to just refer to GFO. thanks for the correction!
