Aqua Clear Media In A Reef Tank?

[Brad2626]

I have an AC 50 On my 20g reef as well as another HOB filter (for extra water flow) and an Aqua C Remora Nano. About 15lbs of LR also. Should i take out the media in the AC 50 and just let the LR and the skimmer take care of the bio load? Im thinking yes right? Nitrates are at 0 btw.

Yes, you should. You should also get a powerhead instead of using the HOB filters for flow.

Im working on getting a couple of Koralia nanos. Just dished out alot of cash for the remora so they are going to have to wait for a week or two.

nano's suck. get korallia 1's

 

[Brad2626]

I might actually. Only 2 places i know of around here carry them and 1 place sells the nanos for $35 and the other place doesnt have the nanos but they have 1's for $30 so i think thats what im going to get.

why does everyone say to take out the media it's just like having really porous live rock isn't it? we're not talking bio balls

Yeah the sponge will also trap and convert detrius to nitrates.
