canister filter

Tank started 2023: This is my first reef tank build and saltwater aquarium and I just wanted to document its progress. It’s kind of a simple budget build to help get my feet wet in the hobby so nothing super fancy. I’m using a fluval 307 canister filter for now and inline heater since originally...

I’m a year into reefing and really want to know if it’s better to shut my whole canister filter completely off when feeding my corals. I just got this canister filter (CF500 UV MKII) for my 55 gallon reef tank, I’ve previously had two tidal 110’s on my tank and then recently transferred all the...

Oase Biomaster thermo 600 canister filter. Has a built in heater. Heater can be removed and ran without also. Used it for 5 months. Will come with a refugium I added that works in-line with the hosing and grow light. Will also include all the hoses. Asking $150 picked up or shipped for $170...

I recently picked up a 125 gallon fish tank from aqueon that is not drilled. All of my tanks are not drilled, not that I don't like drilled, its just they seem to be a bit more money. Now all of my current tanks rely heavily on HOB protein skimmers, uv sterilizers, and canister filters. I have...

I am setting up a new saltwater tank and have installed a brand new Sicce Whale 500 canister filter. The problem is that even after following all instructions including: - no kinks in supply or return hose - no blockage to supply inlet in tank - clean canister parts including all seals -...

Newer to the hobby so sorry if this is a dumb question. I’m currently running a 60 gallon marineland aquarium with an inline canister filter. I’m looking to add a skimmer to the filtration. I’m new to the skimmers and I am planning on eventually upgrading to a sump with a 150-200 gallon DT. Are...

Hi. I have a canister sunsun hw 3000 and i'm thinking to use a prefilter on it. If I use this one (linked) plugged in the canister i will lose power of hw 3000, making less filtration per hour? Its a good choice to use a pré-filter, maybe become more easy to make cleans? Tks...

Hi. I have a 120 gallon tank here and i cant use sump system. I have a canister sunsun hw 3000 too, that i will use to filter the system. My question is: I will need a Hang on Skymmer to help the system works? If yes, give me a suggestion, please. One more question: In the canister i have 4...

Hello fellow reefers! Here's a few pictures of my softie/future LPS tank. Ive got a kenya tree, some mushrooms, GSP, Toadstool, Clove Polyp, and some Zoas (with a tunicate attached). I was just wondering what your suggestions would be for fishies once I let these guys grow out a little more! I...

I want to preface this with a disclaimer that I am a novice reefer, with under a year's worth of experience and learning all the time. That said, I've wanted to post a build thread for a while as I have the impression more and more people are using canister filters on small reef tanks, yet I...

Hello. I Would like some advice on how to change (upgrade) to a new canister filter. I currently have a Marineland canister and switching to a Fluval fx4. What filer media should I move besides the ceramic rings and bioballs (think that’s what they are called). It’s a 50gal cube btw. Do I...

Hi Friends, My name is Dylan and I had been in the marine aquarium hobby for about 15 years before selling my tank in 2016. My previous setup was 65 gal, mostly fish only, with a few inverts and soft corals. (Anemone, mushrooms, zoa's, etc.) I recently bought a used 15 Gal column (Aqueon) to...

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? :(

A little experiment I want to have with a new 30 gallon setup.

So I am moving my eel and fish from my 40 gallon saltwater tank to a 65 gallon. My questions are if I should get a canister filter or an RODI filter or is it better to get both. I'm not 100% against having a sump tank but Would rather go with a canister or RODI filter or both. Also would i need...

So I have a question about a canister filter that I have, it has a uv light. I have a mix reef a 40b whit a 20g sump, I'm thinking about using the canister filter for the uv light in this system in conjunction with the sump, has any one done this and how it workout for you. My plan is to use it...

A while back when I was more into freshwater I bought a Fluval FX6 canister filter and its been sitting in the box since then. Last Friday my wife asked me to build out our 120gal that's been idle. So I was thinking about doing a fish only predator tank with 150lbs of live rock that I have and...

I'm currently running a marineland 360 canister filter and I've been thinking about changing the filter media. I'm using what came with the filter; from bottom to top: coarse foam, carbon, bioballs, ceramic rings w/ polishing filter pad on top. I've been doing a lot of research on canister...

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...

what is the best sump to get for a 56g column tank? It is fish only right now but I'm planning on building a reef tank. When I bought my equipment, the guy recommended a canister filter. However, in my research, i found that a canister filter is the wrong choice for a reef system. I want to know...
