Hi! So many ways to do it, I ran a filter for years no problem what so ever and am guilty
of not cleaning faithfully always. I used Ehiem Pro II can and used the media that came with
the filter. In having recently taken off all filters it is way easier IMO. The filter was such
a hassel and I will never go back. I did start with them though and don't know any different, hangover from freshwater days. It was a huge plunge to take them off and I watched everything like a hawk...expecting some slight change but nothing, wish I had done it years ago.
How big is your tank? Did I miss that. Just take it all slowly and follow the advice from here as it is great. And remember there is no one way so you have to really decide and
just go for it. When I first started I had the L.F.S only for info, did not know about Canreef and I managed. So good luck and keep us posted and ask questions galore!!!
It is addicting so beware, hehe!!! Opps almost forgot get and use a skimmer for sure if
you can't get both then only get the skimmer.
