Hello, my name is Dan, I’ve been in the reef keeping hobby for 4 months. In October 2023 I tore down a fresh water rimless, bought a running 20g AIO (livestock included), and transferred the live rock, several coral, a pair of clowns and a few hermit crabs into my 45cm cube. Before: After...

Hi, I am setting up a 50 gallon FOWLR aquarium. Can I just use an oversized canister filter like Fluval FX2 for the same? I am thinking of skipping Protein skimmer as protein skimmer cost an arm here in India and very less option for FOB. I am regular in maintaining the filter in my other...

Long story short, I have a 16 gallon tank that I’ve only been using to house some feeder shrimp, crabs, and a toadfish. I originally broke it down as a reef tank when I moved everything in it to my main 75 gallon reef system. I only have it about halfway full and I primarily just use it to raise...

I have a canister filter and recently bought a second one to replace my orginal one. Both have been running together for two weeks, so I’m going to take the old one out. Should I just keep the biological media and put it in the new one or use as much of the old sponges as possible. Preferably...

Hey everyone, This is my first build thread and hope it's going to be a fun one! I have been in freshwater aquascaping for quite some years before, but went all-in on reefing for over a year now and I'm quite passionate about it. Currently I own a Reefer 170 including a sump and Apex...

So I'm going to be setting up my first reef tank, first salt tank in many years. I'm going with canister filters (I know what people think about them). It is a 40 breeder. I bought 2 Penn plax 700's with the idea that intake/return one each side of the tank would be beneficial. While I'm still...

Hi I’m running a Fluval 307 and using the following; try 1 filter pad….2 ceramic rings….. 3 carbon….. Would it be better to put a bag of Puritan and carbon in the 3rd tray or get rid of the chemical and run more ceramic rings for bacteria? New to the hobby so any information would be helpful…...

Hello Everyone, After cleaning Canister filter with Saltwater, I see white dust is coming from canister filter. Every minute and its making my Aquarium look cloudy. I'm just worried about my fish, Did live bacteria died or something bad happened? :(

I will post photos, updates, and progress as the tank evolves. Here is an overview of the tank as it is now. *May 2020* Our goal is to have a colorful, lively, symbiotic ecosystem. We have stayed towards more peaceful fish species and they all get along so far. So we've had our tank since...

I’m running two carbon, one paper, one membrane, and one DI canister. I just replaced everything as I’ve recently moved and I’m on well water. I bought a higher quality membrane and it’s typically 5 ppm before hitting the DI. Based on what I read it sounds like that’s on the money. Problem Is...

Hi all! I have a quick question about an rodi resin canister. I bought the system secondhand and this is the first time I am replacing the resin. I see canisters similar to mine online that are single use, but I have a baggie of new resin that I bought with the system. Will I be able to get...

recently picked up a nice canister filter for cheaper then it should have been couldn't pass it up , Now my question is can I turn the back of my biocube into a large refugium taking out all the media just running rubble rock or mud and a lot of chato and other moss. Then running all my media in...

Hey peeps, I'm running a marineland 360 canister filter. It's been up and running for 6 weeks now, cleaned once 3 and a half weeks ago. For some reason I am getting microbubbles (mb) from the return flow. The mb aren't happening constantly, they come in little spurts; I can hear that it's...

Hello everyone! I am setting up a new saltwater fish tank, it has approximately 200G, I don't have a good space below of the display to install a sump, to install this sump I would need to change my stand and I really don't want to do that. My question is, is it possible to use a canister...
