I have been told that I should look at getting rid of the mechanical filtration, however, I don't have a sump. Is that going to make it a problem? And to be honest with you I don't know all that much about the sump system and how it works and even how easy it would be to add one to my set-up.

Whereabouts in Nanaimo do you live? I lived there for 9 years.

I live in Scarewood (Harewood) near Malaspina College.


The mechanical filtration is fine, I just think that after you get more rock you won't need it. Plus the weekly cleaning and such will become a chore.

Theres nothing wrong with buying used. I have hardly bought anything new, I've just upgraded when something better used came available. Money is tight in this hobby and quite frankly I need it for more corals
Your lighting seems fine, but remember you'll be restricted to lower light corals but theres plenty of great tanks out there that aren't lit with blinding lights
