MarineLand Canister Filter, supposedly can support tanks up to 97-gallons. Is this fine to use for a FOWLR 55g or 75g tank? I'm assuming yes, but further clarification is appreciated.
If these canister filters work as efficiently as advertised, why do people drill their tanks and use more complex/larger filtration systems for under 97-gallons?
Do you think the aforementioned system (canister + lots of surface area for bacteria to grow on, e.g., live rock) is 'PUSHING' the boundaries, or do you think its a very comfortable fit? How much live rock is considered 'enough'? Is the canister enough for water flow or should I add something else?
I bolded the most important questions.
Thank you.
