Ok was wondering what i can you to really give to water a good sparkle clean right now just using filter floss and phospate and phosban remover and a 50 micron filter pad just wondering what every one is using in thier sump to get a good idea because i just put my last pad of filter floss in and was just trying to see what i should get... not haveing any problems with my levels just wanted to try something different like using a sump full of bio balls and a 100 micron filter pad let me know what you are using or any ideas thanks ;D

2 reactors ( phosban and carbon ) and a skimmer.

bio balls are a bad idea as they trap debris causing issues, its the same concept with the floss and socks unless they are constantly kept clean.

Add another reactor with carbon like Jon said. That will do the trick.
