    Cannister filters for saltwater

    Nevermind friends, I've decided to go with Marco rocks which was suggested by one of the ladies on this particular forum...Thank you "little_fish"... Although Chaeto is cheap to buy, the shipping is too expensive. Anyone have any they want to get rid of??

    What do they mean by "cooking" dry rock and givining the rock an "acid bath" before adding to tank? I thought this was done only with LR???

    Cannister filters for saltwater

    Here is my tentative plan...you guys tell me what you think. I'm gonna build my own sump. In the meantime my cannister filter is broken and I ordered a HOB filter (Fluval C3 series) to get me by until I build my sump and get it running. Should I build and install the sump first (which will take...

    Is adding a calcium reactor really necessary for my sump if I have a FOWLR tank? Or is it more for when you add corals?

    OK everyone, being this is the first time shopping around for overflow boxes, I know they work by siphoning the water. Do they have an electrical component/motor as well?

    Cannister filters for saltwater

    OK everyone, I picked up a plastic bin @ Wally world (to make my sump) that holds up to 6 gallons of water and the dimensions are: 15" tallx 11.5"widex 11.3/4"long.
