I actually quite like my BC14... I also have a BC8 primarily for my suncorals... easier to feed. I experiemented with using the "stock system" for the BC8, but eventually yanked out the foam and filter. Left all the Bio Balls and it's actually doing a great job.
The BC14, I yanked everything out and didn't even put in any LR in place of... It's quite the detritus trap either way...
