Upto now im just running Carbon, but will change once the Media Rack is released for the 250

I've got carbon and phosguard. Bio media removed. Bubble trap sponge removed (ATO float in there). I only use filter cartridge when doing maintenance in the back. I use the stock skimmer and mechanical filter. Heater is there but always switched off. Chiller pump in the small pump chamber.

phil - on my 130D... I am running the black filter right back, stock skimmer center, left back (chamber of death) bio-balls & chemi-pure elite on top of the bio-balls in place of the stock carbon.

I wash the filter & skimmer out about twice a week & the bio-balls I rinse in ro/di monthly. I may change this up one day, but so far I have had great success running my rsm stock as designed with great water quality and happy fish & coral. I am not advocating this as best practice, just what is working well for me.

I'm running a tunze 9002 skimmer with StevieT's media rack with black sponge, chemipure elite, and purigen.

On my tank ...
Chamber 1 is Stevie Ts poly w/ chempure(1/2 unit) and purigen.
Then stock skimmer then heater.
Then in chamber of death chaeto w/ submersible light and Stevie Ts poly before return pumps.

Sorry on last post I left out that in the chamber where the submersible chiller pump would be located I have plumbed the suction and return lines for the external pump and chiller.

I got my Tunze skimmer, ATO sensor, heater, pump for my reactor + tubing and media rack(currently holding a small bag of chemi pure elite). I'm about to remove the rack completely out from the back chambers for good soon. I'll be running another reactor for carbon.

I have a Lifereef overflow in the back chamber.
