+1. And not too rough or it will cause the carbon to breakdown.

I would probably say reactor also. Personally I stopped using carbon about 4-5 months ago, and can say I am having much more success now. With the SPS issues I have had over the past while, at least they are not dieing anymore, and can see some healing happening. So for now, no carbon for me, water is crystal clear and inhabitants are still happy.

Running LR rubble in sump to skimmer, with cheato refuge, then through Purigen before return to Display.
