Did anyone catch the blog post on Advanced Aquarist a few days ago? Revisiting "Jaubert Method" reefkeeping
http://www.advancedaquarist.com/blog/revisitng-jaubert-method-reefkeeping
And an older article: http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2002/9/aafeature
I run a pretty natural tank, but wouldn't think of getting rid of my protein skimmer. I run a protein skimmer and have a bag of carbon in the tank. Done. Sand, live rock, chiller, lights, pumps, heater, ATO, and water changes. That's it.
I've run protein skimmers on marine tanks since the 90s. Over the years I have run wet/dry systems, bioballs, canisters, refuguims, but right now I couldn't image adding any of these to my tank.
Paulb runs a reverse undergravel filter.....and swears by it.
Thoughts? Discussion encouraged.
What works for you and how long has your tank been running (this is key)?
Anyone trying this out - no protein skimmer?
