We've been running a 10 gallon nano saltwater aquarium for quite some time with just a Fluval Aqueon 30 filtering the water. It pulls out a fair amount of junk just using some filter floss. (We prefer to use fine filtering that also reduces the water flow of the filter to a small degree.) We bought a nice protein skimmer - the Tunze...

Do I need a protein skimmer? Is a mechanical filter OK?]]>
