Do I need a filtration system in a 10 gallon reef aquarium?
I am converting my aquarium into a reef and I have read that you do not need a filter system and protein skimmer for that,only a heater, and live rock and live sand to take care of filtering, is this true?
ABSOLUTELY! All fish tanks need filters, especially something as advanced as a reef! If you are not willing to spend money on equipment, maybe fish aren’t for you… Live rock and sand will do some filtering, but not nearly enough to keep a tank running. That would starve all fish or invertebrates in the tank of oxygen and create a stagnant pool of water that will quickly grow algae. And, while we’re at it, you will also need special lighting if you plan on keeping corals.
