I am sure others will chime in here but from my experience the canister was just a HUGE nitrate trap. I had mine filled with LR rubble (no media but carbon) on my 27G and it was only 3 months before I had problems with HIGH nitrates. They are aweful to clean and would need regular cleaning (like atleast weekly) to keep the nitartes down. Mine accumulated huge debris/detritus and the tubes were a pain to clean.
Just my experience but I would never do it again. What size is your SW? If a nano perhaps a HOB would be better.

The is not a complete setup yet. It will be a 95G tank. I'm just going through all my equipment that I can sell/keep. It was a great filter for a FW tank so I thought I could use it SW. I not so sure of that now though.
I have a rs-135 that I'm going to use in my sump.

 Hey!I guess I am having a tough time getting my head around the no filter idea, don't worry just trying to wean myself from this. But my question is how do you run carbon when you don't have a sump or filter???? Confused....  ________ volcano classic vaporizer Last edited by Leah; 01-20-2011 at 10:50 AM.
