The is not a complete setup yet. It will be a 95G tank. I'm just going through all my equipment that I can sell/keep. It was a great filter for a FW tank so I thought I could use it SW. I not so sure of that now though.

I have a rs-135 that I'm going to use in my sump.

Hey!
I guess I am having a tough time getting my head around the no filter idea, don't
worry just trying to wean myself from this. But my question is how do you run carbon
when you don't have a sump or filter???? Confused....

I don't see why someone would attempt a SW tank without one or the other.. I guess the only other option would be to run a Phosban (or similar) with Carbon, hanging on the tank.

My guess is your talking about a nano tank. I have a small nano tank with a HOB filter I put carbon in when I'm having water quality issues. Although you can run nanos without a skimmer using LR as a biofilter I have a skimmer on my tank.
