OK so I. New to salt water and I just set up my new nuvo drop off tank that I bought from someone off ksl. Idk if it was supposed to cone with a caddy for my filtration but it didn't. So I'm gonna make one. But I do have one of aqua gadgets and its a media reactor. My question is what would be a good media to put in the reactor for a new tank set up. I'm gonna be running a reef set up when its done cycling.

Thanks Kris.

Nothing right now. Get your tank cycled first. You won’t need a media reactor for a while.

Agreed no media while you cycle. Maybe some floss if you want to capture debris but nothing that will remove organics, nitrates or phosphates.

intankaquatics.com has media baskets for many nano tanks and may make one for your tank. They do make custom ones as well if they don't have one for that tank.
