First I'd like to say thanks to Melev for all of his articles over the years, I've learned a lot reading them and have enjoyed following along your blogs.
I am setting up a 180 gallon tank that will be mostly SPS. I tore this tank down in 2008 and am setting it up again with some updates. Main one being I'm switching from MH/VHO's to AI LED's.
I've been doing a lot of reading and research and I am planning on running Biopellets on this system. Is a refuguim required if you are using biopellets? I have a 75 gallon sump under my tank that I had a small refuguim built into, previously I had it running with Miracle Mud, chaeto, etc. I do not have a dedicated fish room and would like to make this a small frag tank if possible.
Biopellets will be in a reactor that I will use to fed a 851 Deltec Skimmer(is this still considered a good skimmer).
Thanks for any help or advice you can give me.
