For fun I've been messing around with adding an overflow box to a water box 25 gallon peninsula in order to have a sump in the stand. In doing so I found been using a nano refugium I can fit and automatic fleece roller a full size protein skimmer, an algae reactor, as well as media reactors.
Let's say an extreme cases, if I were to hook up perhaps a massive protein skimmer, or a pax bellum c-36, or an Overkill fleece roller, what aspect of filtration would be the biggest concern for completely stripping nutrients? I would guess the protein skimmer would be a concern if it's extremely overrated for the tank, but can excessive mechanical or biological filtration have a negative effect on a nano tank? Any opinions or experience? After seeing how much I could fit in the stand I figured, this is got to be way too much filtration for a 25 gallon tank, but what aspect of the filtration would be something that would need to be monitored or severely limited? A bit of a theoretical question.
