JayPee Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Check out the sump thread in the diy section. Plenty of good ideas in there. Not to sure you would need a protein skimmer though. Dacron, Jap Mat, Clay Balls, Noodles, Crushed Coral is what i have in mine. But check out that thread I'm sure you'll find what you need. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarah1234 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I used in my sump: gutter guard, noodles, filter wool, large jap sponges, scoria and whatever else I could find. Not going to be the be all/end all if you can't find some high tech media, just get a variety and lots of it, doesn't have to cost a heap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
