In the mean time, what are you running inside of the fluval canister filter?

Right now I have Fluval Opti-carb and the cermic donut things. Ordered SeaChem Matrix media with my new RO/DI system, should be here next week.

Cheers!!

Y dont u just get a hang on back overflow and make a sump so u dont need to drill. I use the CPR one and they work great. I always turn off my return pump when I feed my fishes and when turnin it back on the siphon will just continue where it left off. Never have to suck it again lol.

Seachem POND matrix would be a better choice, these larger pieces leave more internal areas/volume for anaerobic bacteria growth, collects less detritus as well. It's basically pumice near as I can tell.

I have a 75 with an aquaclear 110 and a cheap redsea prizm skimmer,tank is loaded with softies and some montipora and digitata,have been running it this way for around 5 yrs no problems,I think it all depends on your bioload,if you want a tank packed with fish then I think you would have to go another route.5 gallon water change every 2 weeks,using reef crystals salt.

I have a 72g bowfront no sump, psk100 eshopps hob skimmer, cpr hob refugium (the larger size) with cheato in it. I do a 10 gallon wc weekly

Yep a hob filter is fine to go sumpless and skimmer less. Even a canister filter is fine as long as you keep it clean.
