    ALOT of work and maintenance that when neglected turns into a nightmare, but if you keep it up, its great, don't keep it up, nightmare. IMO get a hob fuge with chaeto and do the same thing with zero maintenance, and if ya wanna run carbon, get and aqua clear 75.

    i put rock rubble in the bottom of mine and run carbon on top of it, just more bio filter that way with zero maintenance, you can google, "aqua clear fuge mod" and get some great ideas of how to set it up, or better yet, youtube
