I am currently running ZEO on the tank, but will be switching to Bio-Pellets tonight. Just got annoyed with shaking up the TLF Reactor, I even tried putting an Eheim 1000 pump with a gate valve to use full blast instead of shaking. It works quite well, but I was still getting a bit of build up of mulm inside the TLF Reactor. With the Bio-Pellets, no more SHAKING, and way LESS maintenance!

I'm also using the StevieT/inTank Media Basket with floss, Chemi-Pure Elite, and RowaPhos.

If you're going to get the Tunze 9002 Skimmer, I'd definitely recommend getting the StevieT upgrade cup!

I run a 10 gallon sumpless system which is shared between sps and lps. I do 60 percent water changes to upkeep my calc, alk, and mag to respectable levels. I run a skimmer, macro algae, vodka dose, and run GFO to reduce phos and nitrates. A 30 gallon should be manageable without a sump if you are willing to put the effort in, sps are quite demanding!

Heres my link you can see the type of equipment and maintenance I do/use
