This filter is quite amazing. It is made of tough acrylic, and has plenty of room for heaters, pumps, skimmers, and what ever else you want to hide from the tank. It is also surprisingly quiet, no louder than a Marineland emporer, thanks to the bubble chamber. It also does a great job of evenly distributing the water over the bioballs for maximum bacterial growth.
I have the MegaFlow 1 for my 65 gal reef and I like the way it has three areas instead of two. I put my heater and my Marineland marine pro 100 skimmer in the center zone before the defuser sponge and I never have to worry about bubbles in the tank. The third area holds my Mag drive 7 return pump and my Coralife turbo twist UV sterizer pump Excellent design! I'm getting a bigger one for my next tank.
Spanning the most basic to the most advanced applications, a seemingly mundane piece of equipment, a sump, can provide numerous benefits, most important of which is improved water conditions.
Don't take the quality of your tap water for granted. If you draw your water from a well, nature may not be providing you the perfect balance. If you are using tap water from your municipal department, it likely includes minerals and additives.
Algae are prolific and opportunistic organisms that take advantage of aquarium systems that are out of balance. Water quality issues create ideal conditions for algae. This article explains how proper water quality helps control algae.
Coral propagation is a challenging and rewarding aspect of the reef aquarium hobby. It is also a great way to promote coral conservation. Learn more here.
