What do you run in your sump?

[jgoal55]

So I just had this sump built for my brothers 90 gallon tank and I was wondering what media I should put in it.

I am going to be running a UV, a dual chamber reactor, some cheato, and I was thinking about skipping the fuge sand all together....

what do you guys think and what are you running in your fuges?

Also, I was thinking about putting something in that center compartment (right above the eggcrate). What do you guys recommend?

lol...that may be why your fish can kick my fishes tail....

what size tank is this?

Also, as for the miracle mud.....thats instead of the sand right?

Have any of you run these things?

 

[jgoal55]

What about bio pellets? Anyone running those?

Sorry one more question, what do you guys think if instead of a reactor I run media bags with GFO/Carbon in that center section that should have pretty decent flow???

Media bags aren't nearly as effective as a reactor, but better than nothing.

Me: Skimmer, heaters, pumps feeding chiller/return/dual BRS reactor w/ carbon and GFO.
The first chamber has some rubble in it, but I doubt I'll do that on the next tank.

yeah thats what i figured....i went with the reactor.
