Advice Please: Who runs cannister filters on their Reef and other things

[MitchM]

What are you wanting the canister filter to do? Mechanically filter the water?
If so, I would just use a filter sock. Much easier to change and clean.

I didn't see any activated carbon listed in your equipment setup. I would have that running in a fluidized reactor.

Are your bulbs relatively new?

In your pics at the bottom of your signature, your tank looks great, btw.
