my problem is that i dont have room for a sump. i am thinking of using a hang on back filter and a canister filter. i do have a hang on back protein skimmer.
can anyone give me any advice if this will work with minimal maintenance?
i dont want to be having to do water changes all the time.
any help is appreciated.

Nothing wrong with a hang on filter. My 90g has two on it and a Tunze 9010 skimmer. I run carbon and phosphate remover media in the filter and sometimes run the particulate filters that come with them to clean. I have a Regent type and the largest Aqua Clear.
I dont like canisters myself, although they work fine if kept clean.
