Reefing newb
I plan to start setting up a 55gal reef aquarium soon. After looking at filtration systems I noticed that sump systems are very popular, and for good reason. But for a noob like me, they are somewhat scary, due to cost and complexity. Also Im very worried about potential flooding issues. Canister filters look much more friendly to me. Im curious though, can a canister filter be used in a reef system? Or fish only? Also, correct me if Im wrong but you if you use a canister filter then your protein skimmer has to be the hang-on-the-back style correct? Because a standard skimmer sits in the sump? Are the HOB style ok to use for a reef tank?
Go easy on me, Im very much a beginner :dunno:
