I use macro algaes for nutrient export and food production.

I prefer natural methods and have been doing such for the last 5 years or so. It was a big step removing all my filters completely. I do have them still in the garage. In certain applications I do think they are beneficial and would recommend that most don't try the types of setups I use.

Part of why I am succsessful IMO is that my tanks are not stocked heavily by most standards.

So far my tank is doing awesome, I'm really happy with the results.

I moved about a year ago so this tank has only been up since March so it hasn't really stood the test of time yet. Pic is a few weeks old. Looks much the same, but the corals are a bit bigger.

HTH
thanks for joining in and posting pictures----I realize even more that I want to go this route also with natural filtration.
