Exclamation Canister - MarineLand C-220

Hi Everyone,

One LFS near me told me that my LR + Powerhead (3x maxi-jet 1200) isnt enough for the good living of my tank. He suggested me to either make a sump or buy a canister filter. Since i don't have place really, i'v decided to buy the canister but here we are i'm just searching around and everyone says that canister shouldnt be used.... I'm really confused.

Should i run my canister with carbon only or with Bio-ball/Sponge/Carbon and how often should i clean if i decided to go that way?

A canister is fine, just as long as you clean on a regular basis.
