Go with option two and check out the filter media baskets at http://shop.mediabaskets.com/.
 
I just ordered the filter media basket for my 29 gallon Biocube, along with the submersible lights to grow chaeto. Running filter flos in the top, chaeto in the middle, and Purigen and Chemipure Elite in the bottom.

Or...

I could remove the oceanic filter pad w/ carbon and put cheato in the first chamber with the 2 mangroves.

Then the mini-fuge in the second chamber could hold filter floss in the first compartment, activated carbon in the second, chemi-pure in the third, and purigen in the fourth.

Or...feedback please

Thanks everybody.  So I will go with the mini-fuge.  My BioCube has three filtration chambers.  The first chamber holds 2 mangroves and the Oceanic filter pad w/ carbon. 

The second chamber will hold the mini-fuge, which can have up to 4 compartments.  I am thinking to put filter floss in the first, cheato in the second, chemi-pure in the third, and purigen in the fourth.

The third chamber holds a sponge, the return pump and 4 more mangroves.

Any input on this configuration would be greatly appreciated.  Also, will I need to provide lighting for the cheato?  I could also put some cheato (or other decorative macroalgae) in the main tank.

#2

I would think that regular water changes with a 14g would make a protein skimmer somewhat pointless.

An easy option would be to simply grow Macroalgae in the tank itself. What kind of fish are in the tank?]]> Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:21:28 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38521&PID=341570&title=which-is-better#341570 <![CDATA[Which is better? : probably either option 2, or 3...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38521&PID=341459&title=which-is-better#341459 Author: jmorrell

probably either option 2, or 3 would work great.  Most people tend to stay away from bioballs, because they are "nitrate factories".]]> Sun, 07 Feb 2010 20:58:18 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38521&PID=341459&title=which-is-better#341459 <![CDATA[Which is better? : i would go with #2 ]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38521&PID=341458&title=which-is-better#341458 Author: Jeffs_little_ocean
