Filtration system for 15 gallon?

[JeffyT]

in a 15g setup.

I would grab an aquaclear 70 if you have space, and just makeshift some filterfloss, the pads that come with it and some purigen.

Purigen is rechargable, never done it myself because 7 dollars every 3 months saves me more time and effort so i can stare at my tank.

I know a lot of people who will run a small bag of chemipure elite which is GFO and Activated carbon to help keep the water clear :]

my personal favorite right now is Purigen and Chemipure Elite. If you are trying to save money, water change.

I have the above filtration, a hob skimmer and i water change 3 gallons a week. in a 20g shallow, which after my rock and sand its probably only 14-15g water total.

Filter floss acts as mechanical filtration, which I read is unnecessary in the long term in saltwater tanks, plus I don't want to keep changing the filter floss every 3 days.

Nothing beats water changes, which I'm sure will take care of most water problems. But should it become necessary, I'll utilise the media you mentioned (I have an unused bag of activated carbon, which I'll use with an HOB, if the water becomes cloudy).

Thanks for your input, btw.
