Killing the Canister Fitler Myth

[spikehs]

well, I have gone the route of having my canister as my return pump. I have the XP2 powerfilter.

I am really liking this setup for a few reasons..
1. The filter is REALLY quiet. Almost silent

2. I have polyfilter, nitrate media, carbon, and phosphate media in there. So before any water gets returned to my tank its gets scrubbed really well

3. It eliminated 1-2 more pumps i needed. I was going to run an aquaclear with the polyfilter + nitrate media + carbon and have the fluidized reactor run some phosphate media. I now have it all in one.

Edit: Mine isn't on a nano (50gal tank).. but i think the same theory applies...
