Heres some #SaltwaterAquariumAdvice Got a reef tank? Calcareous Live Rock and sand (coral based) is the best natural filtration because it will buffer the pH as well as the usual biological filtration duties (ammonia to nitrite to nitrate) coupled with the added bonus of denitrification courtesy of the anaerobic bacteria reducing nitrate to harmless nitrogen gas. Live rock also contains a myriad of marine species such as macro-algae which will suck up unwanted nitrate and phosphate and tiny crustaceans which will further breakdown waste. #SaltwaterScientist (photo credit: Flickr)
