Re: Natural filtration.
That is called a refugium darling Water goes through the macro algae (salt plant) and the algae sucks up the phosphates, nitrates and other stuff thus cleaning the water. The longer it takes for the water to go through the macro the better the system works.
Then theres also algae turf scrubbers but those seem like a messy way to to it IMO.
