After using the tricke filter system and the refugium system. I find that the refu system proved better result in my point of view.

Previouly when i using the trickle filter using the bioball etc, there seem to be no control of my nitrate level. But thanks to fellw reefer advice, i tried the refuge system and seem like i able to export some of my nutrient from the algae that i grow.

Really worth to be patient to do this but as my three feet tank leak a month ago, had no choice but to transfer a lot of live stock over to my cycling tanks and a blessing in diguise that my casualty rate is very low.

Some update on my system

I having a deep sand of 5 inches in my sump with a lot marco aglae as the source for export nutrient.

H & S skimmer to help my reduce the D.O.M in the tanks - must say that it is a good skimmer to use in term of power consumption and the amount of skimmate that the skimmer produce.

One CR and Kalk reactor from Cookiemonster which had stabilised my calcium level and DKH ( I pray hard that i need not use any more dripping method)

One fludised reactor and Rowphos for reducing all the phosphate in my tank through auto top up of tap water.

In fact I used dead rock as a base for my aquascaping and now coraline aglae is growing on it.

From the pic that shows you skimmer, it looks like it may benefit from a higher throughput
