Red Sea Reefer 250 set up ideas

[Mike H2020]

Ok so I’m upgrading from Biocube 32 to reefer 250. Want to keep it super simple. Don’t plan on adding more fish other than the 5 I have now. Mostly just softies and LPS. Is there anything other than filter socks and skimmer needed ? Do
I still use Chemipure /carbon / GFO ?
Thanks

I would add some bio media like MarinePure (spheres or blocks) and a UV filter (or at least plan for the UV). You'll probably want both filter sock holders for filter socks, so you can place the ChempiPure in the sump in its bag -or- go with a separate reactor for carbon and GFO in the skimmer chamber.

Was thinking about cycling with dry rock in sump prior to moving my existing rock and tank contents. I like the idea of the us & filter socks. I don’t really want a reactor.
