Would he be better off to just use a pump, rather than a canister?
Where would his mechancial filtration come from?


Unless it was bare bottom then you could just suck the debris out weekly?

What are your thoughts?

Mechanical filtration is only good in the form of micron filter socks. Short of that, you're best to just avoid it and siphon off detritus as it accumulates.

I don't have any mechanical filtration in any of my tanks. The water is AWESOME. No floaties.
