    Thinking of adding a fluidised bed filter, any pros/cons or advice would be great!

    many thanks

    If you are looking to use it for the nitrogen cycle your live rock handles this much better and with out nitrate build up. If you are using it for chemical filtration for GFO then it is a good idea. Carbon does not need to be fluidized.
