I don't run RDSBs because I don't need to because of my fuge as well, just thought I would throw it out there as a potentially cheap fix.

I think the concensus was that you need 1 bucket per 80 or 90 gallons of water in your system.

I would do a fuge first. You can also include a "xenia basket". This a floating basket that you throw into a large fuge, and put xenia into. Xenia grow quickly and pull crap out of your water too, but you need the basket or they dont get any light due to the macro algae, especially chaeto.
