I have heard that there is no such thing as excessive filtration. I am a believer that if it is possible, the more quality filtration, the better.
However, I have come to a point where too much is too much
I have a 90 gal semi reef with dual overflows and 160 lbs of live rock and a 4 inch live sand bed with crush coral substrate under fine grain sand. I'm building a sump with a 40 gallon capacity to replace my old one.
Inside, I'm going to have a refugium chock full of chaeto. I already have some in my main tank just to keep there for now. I also have a PM ES-100 skimmer. I have two media reactors, one for carbon and one for phosban.
I'm considering bulding a coil denitrier to complete this beast of a filtration system I have. It sounds like a great idea (simply because I have the patience of a chubby and hungry 8 year old staring in the window of an icecream shop, while doing the truffle shuffle coupled with the fact that I love to DIY) but It may be a little excessive.
The goal is pretty common. Get the nicest corals and most fish stuffed in one area as possible. I figured getting a denitrifier would give me the ability to not worry about my bioload causing system problems.
any thoughts?
