04-07-2007 18:15 by sturio	where does the skimmer go if i set sump this way? hope this works lol
04-07-2007 18:21 by sturio	ok maybe not it is a five section sump first section bioballs and ceramic media second skimmer third section miracle mud,caleurpa etc. fourth ???? fifth return pump does anyone disagree with this?
04-07-2007 18:45 by JP	Sump setup seems ok to me, But if you are using liverock i would dump the bioballs and ceramics as they just produce nitrates.
04-07-2007 18:49 by sturio	wouldnt caleurpa and the likes absorb nitrates? arghhhhhhhhhh lol

04-07-2007 21:24 by sonia	whats these big black boxes on this thread?
05-07-2007 00:40 by JP	yes the caleurpa would store some of the nitrates but whats the point in creating excess nitrates with bio balls ect. If your using liverock for filtration then they are not needed.
05-07-2007 10:55 by PaddyD	I thought the point of using miracle mud was that you would not need a skimmer, generally they are not recommended as part of the ecosystem method.
05-07-2007 14:40 by JP	Thats what the people who make the stuff said, But now they have said running a skimmer is fine Most people that i know that use MM now use a skimmer
