Hello,

Due to my setup, I resorted to using a cannister filter for my 55 gallon reef tank. Yes I've read all about sumps but unfortunately I cannot have one.

I've done a lot of research on how to best set up a cannister and I was wondering what you guys think of the setup below. Essentially this reefer uses only bio media and no sponges. What's your opinion? I've also read that using this setup and then a HOB with sponges will be pretty efficient? good or bad idea? Thanks !

Looks like it would be super fun to clean. Sponge only imo. Clean weekly. Plenty of bio filter on rock/sand.
