That Aquaforest aquarium is very nice! Quite pricey, also! Thanks for posting, I really enjoy your videos.

I love the content! I never had a freshwater tank. I dove straight into salt water and run a fluval FX6 on a 65 gallon rimless. I have alot of LPS but am now diving into SPS which I've had good luck with. The tank has been up and running for a year. Canister filters get a ton of hate in the salt water aquarium community. Most of the hate is from people who have never owned a canister filter let alone run one on a mixed reef tank. I have a problem with the tank being to clean and had to increase feeding and dosing neophos from brightwell. I would love to see more canister filter on reef tank content because there is hardly any information for people regarding this topic. Be safe and keep up the great work!

you can use one of those electrical surface skimmers (just by means of example: skim350 by Eheim, but there are more powerfull ones on the market)

My 2nd 3ft tank ran on a canister filter very successful for about 6 years before I had to move house. As I was moving I decided to fit a full length weir and add a sump.

from this video I learned that marine amphipods can establish populations in canister filters. I did not see this in any other videos. hopefully some make it back into the aquarium in order to serve as food? It would be great if the pump is at the entrance of the filter, to avoyd having them to pass through. Otherwise one can construct such a thing using a pressurized filter for ponds and an external pump. In the days I read about daphnia filters for ponds, where the nutrients in the water was used by these to grow and multiply. Could you establish also copepods in that filter?

@aquariumservicetech2891 6 ай бұрын

pods are all Over In Every crevice of saltwater tanks so definitely In The filters

Ive had reef aquariums for 29 years. My current tank is a 450L mixed SPS LPS reef. No filter at all, no media. No protein skimmer, just a manual filter roll that I turn once every few days and a refugium. I would be careful with external filters, though. You need to make sure you don't turn them into nitrate factories.

You don’t use a sump? I wanna set up a 120 g. I was gonna use a ehiem canister filter but not sure if it’ll be enough

Would it be a good idea to use 2 canister filter, one full of seachem matrix as biological filtration and the other canister filter full of sponges and filter floss ?

@aquariumservicetech2891 7 ай бұрын

I think one quality canister filter would Be fine. The rock and sand should be have enough bio filtration. I’d spend $$ on wave makers and keep up with maintenance.

@@aquariumservicetech2891 im having a problem with flow although i dont have any corals yet but my sand keeps shifting to different places so i have my flow on level 1 it goes all the way up to 12. Can i removed my sand and add new thicker sand with fish in the tank ? How would you go about doing this and what sand do you recommend ? I have caribsea fiji pink live sand now.. .

I have a saltwater tank run on a canister filter. The tank is about 8 months old at this point and I just tried adding in my first anemone. The anemone doesn’t seem to be doing well though. Any tips on how to help it out?

Always start with water chemistry. Make sure the big 4 cal. Alk. Po3 . No3 are good.

@aquariumservicetech2891 7 ай бұрын

I’d recommend toadstools, Kenya tree, mushrooms, zoa’s. I mean we have yet to have a problem with our puffers going after any coral.

Could you please ellaborate on that? I would like to understand because I’m currently researching a lot and have not ruled out the canister option for salt water.

@A.R.C.77 5 ай бұрын

@@ultraSabotaj lol would you rather carry a canister to a sink and clean it that alone is enough to make a sump better not to mention parts breaking and or leaking in a canister. But that said obviously you wouldn't get a sump for small tanks
