I'd do exactly what I use now: CPR Aquafuge Full of Chaeto with nitrates always at 0. Waterchanges are easy on a small tank.
Plus, the amount of pods that this thing produces are great too, and they just drain into the tank. My magfloat is now like a little pod dining room, too. ;-)
Christopher Marks of Nano-Reef.Com said:I encourage everyone to try this method for their nano reef. It is uncommon to not use a protein skimmer, but nano reef keeping isn't the same as a traditional sized reef (though this method also works great on larger tanks). It's simple, it's cheap, and there is no extra equipment to worry about. As I always say, the less 'toys' you have on your reef, the less there is to go wrong.
