Brad,
The only regular mechanical water filtration I have on my tank is a protein skimmer. (Aquamedic T5000 - 48" X 8") I have a couple hundred pounds of LR and about a 5" DSB in the main tank - 204g, and in the 180g sump. I don't do water changes unless I have to.
I've recently added my UV to the setup, in order to reduce the number of Ich tomites. I hooked up the UV on November 11, and plan on keeping it going until November 25. The same goes for the Hippo in the hospital tank.
