| Re: powerfilters I do not have a reef tank but I know the reefers will recommend live rock, live sand, protein skimmer, refugium, and macroalgae. All of that being said, you might not need all of that for easier corals. Hopefully someone else will chime in here. |

| Re: powerfilters About once every 6months, clean out the filters, physically remove it from the tank, dump it out, scrub it out. If you're using something biological in it, dont clean that, keep it moist while cleaning the filter though. |

| Re: powerfilters something biological like what...kind of new to this..like cermic,carbon? |

| Re: powerfilters ceramic carbon is for chemical filtration, which needs to be changed every 2-4 weeks depending on bioload. |

| Re: powerfilters your tank is a 65g, get a filter good for 100-150g, do the same with the skimmer. Also get a good test kit. |
