I would personally scrap the canister unless your willing to break it down for a cleaning every week. I’d also look into getting an InTank media basket for your Aquacleae... also if possible, I’d get the 110 over the 70 for extra capacity, but if you can’t, I think the InTank basket is a worthwhile investment.

* Understand that everyone has a different way of doing things. If I were running a sumpless tank, this is what I would do.
