Hi, complete newbie question, but what are those balls in the bottom of your sump and whats their purpose?Figured I’d do an update since I haven’t in a bit. Just hasn’t really been much to update honestly. But everything is doing good! Only thing that has changed is I got my refugium setup about a week ago. All levels still looking good with the exception of phosphates. I’ve got them staying at around .16ppm now, so better then before but still have work to do. I’m starting to look into just getting a small media reactor and running some GFO.
Any suggestions on a small reactor for GFO that can sit outside the sump?
They are called marine pure balls. They are pretty much just a super porous ceramic ball that’s purpose is to house more beneficial bacteria. Also help give copepods and stuff and place to live and breed.
Nice. I got one last week too, great fish, really brought the clowns and green chromis out of their shell too. They all swim around the tank now.Got a Midas blenny Friday and he finally came out for some pictures tonight he’s a biiig boy
My Midas was a little territorial at first, so I’d recommend it be last. Clowns are also territorial once they find their host spot unless you get small ones. All in all, looks like a good community tank! I’m working with the planet aquariums tank of the same size.
