You are looking at a 20g tank, insulated with about 1.5" of styrofoam, made to look like a rock using cement, except the latest additions I had to use foam. Filled with bio balls to the top. Water goes in mangroves eat nitrates and phosphates, water returns to skimmer.

Why do you use bioballs? I thought they were a factory for nitrates? Just to supplement the mangroves?

They are only nitrate factories if they trap detritus, enough flow and you're fine
