Default Seting up 100g

I've read that you can keep the bio balls out but can I put something else
in instead?
I want to go with the Jaubert system. That seems the best isn't it?

Hi Harry,

When you say "mini reef" and 100g in the same sentence, some of us blink

twice.
After all, I have a 29g reef and a 55g reef.

It isn't recommended to use a wet/dry with a reef tank, because wet/dry

systems
use bioballs to accellerate the A-N-N cycle and add too many nitrates to

the
water. This is toxic to invertebrates, virtually the backbone of a reef.

You might check out this page for a good overview:
