IM 10 filter compartment

[Zhi Long Oh]

Hi, i'm looking to set up a nano tank and am looking at IM10. Can i know what are the fellow reefers using for the back compartment so i can maximise the usage? 

i am looking to use filter sock, AIO biopellet/chemipure, ghost skimmer and probably chaeto.

When I was running my IM 10, I used the stock caddy in the inflow chamber, used the ghost skimmer for awhile in the middle chamber. Eventually I filled all the chambers with bacteria king media 

space is a premium I must say

chemipure is convenient but i think it's not wallet friendly. $10 every 6 weeks........

I see. Thats good. Work out a plan that can sustain you in the long term. Basic thumb of rule is to export more nutrients than u put in
