I am going to start my 240 soon and i want to make a canister filter to remove all the nitrates phosphates and other bad stuff. i want some thing i can set up and leave for a month or two as a maintenance system so i do not have to worry about Algae outbreaks and have good clean water. i have looked at things like a pura complete, seachem and brightwell. They all make lots of stuff, so what do you think is the best setup. Should i run a carbon and a phoslock and a nitratelock or the phosphate and Nitrate sponge or a complete media. i just do not know how or what to go with to get the best results. All info and personal experience appropriated. i will be running a 240 display with a 70 sump and a 10 refug. i only run soft Corals and would like to have a ton of fish if possible. Thanks for any info.

IME purigen is the best at removing/controlling nitrogen. As far as phosphates go, watch what you feed, and clean your filters regularly. Prolonged stretches without cleaning will result in phosphates rising. I have yet to find a phosphate remover that is worth a grain of salt, other then a ton of live plants.
