While reading some of the advice given, I have a few questions to toss out
there, Iam really confused. I have 2 tanks 95 wave it is a FOWLR it is new,
new. I also have a 72 bow reef tank. Both doing great! No sumps on either.
Confusion part I use Ehiem filters on both. I thought I read that they trap
nitrates? Are you saying it is best not to use a can filter? It makes me shudder...Am I just addicted to all that extra work I put myself through? I
do small water changes weekly, if I ran without filters, would the water changes have to change.

thanks!
