Filtration

boricua1208 · 01/08/2007, 11:01 AM

I recently purchased a 75 gal aquarium that i will be setting up soon. What i'm wondering is what you think about canisters compared to trickle. I hear feedback on both but dont know which way to go. i hear good about both. I eventually am wanting to have live rock and anenomes some corals nothing fancy but nice. Fish i'm wanting like tangs and angels

We have neither on our 90g reef. All of our filtration is done by the 110+ lbs of live rock we have, a skimmer, deep sand bed, and the macro in our refugium. The tank has been running almost a year now and we couldn't be happier with it.

The wet/dry will handle a larger load the a canister would AND later when you go with corals LR etc, you can still use the W/D and convert to a sump.....
