I am a huge fan of protein skimmers but unfortunately it wasn't possible to have one with my impossibly-clean-no-visible-equipment-cube. All I have for filtration is LR in the main tank and LR and chaeto in the cannister filter.

How does Chaeto grow inside on the cannister without light?

Danny,
Are you serious... you aren't familiar with my work? Canreef isn't that big of a place; some of the members here helped vote my tank up to "thread of the month" on reefcentral a little while back. And the other day I called the owner of www.nanotuners.com in the States and he told me I was "a legend" down there. Get with the times man... c'mon, a legend! - Chad

Haha touche. Well, the coles notes version is that one of the modifications that I made was to put a submersible light inside the cannister filter.
