I'm a convert. A two time convert. First, I'm a convert to the Triton method which I currently use on my SPS tank. I've never had a tank more stable with this much growth and very little maintenance. I'm also a convert to UV sterilizers after installing one on that same tank.
So -- I want to do a similar thing on my Innovative Marine 120 AOI. Obviously, running the Triton method, which requires a good size refugium, isn't as easy on an AIO. So here's the plan:
Plumb an Algae Scrubber and a UV sterilizer in a closed loop with a canister filter. The canister filter will hold chemipure and carbon, but not filter material that can build up nitrates, etc. It also acts as a closed pump to rerun the water into the rear of the AIO.
Will this work?
