Reefing newb
I'm finally upgrading from a FOWLR to a full reef. I've got a general idea of what I want to stock, but I'm having trouble with nitrates. I'm running a Magnum Canister filter and I think thats the cause of the high nitrates, as I do weekly water changes. I was thinking of adding "bio media" to the canister filter in place of the carbon to establish bacteria that would naturally keep nitrate levels down. I was also thinking of using an emperor hang on filter that I have as a hang on refuge. Instead of carbon and a biowheel, maybe some macro or something. For lighting, I was thinkng of nova 10k t-5's. Any suggestions?
