    Just scrolled back and watched the video,with all that rock and good flow biological filtration shouldn't be a problem.Stocking seems to be happening quickly,take it slow and good luck.

    Chuy,

    PM sent! Check your inbox if you would like a simple, cheap how-to on DIY sumps.

    ** Just watched your vid! Nice job!

    Now, STOP with the # of fish already! Good choices, but already maxing out your ability to bioregulate your tank. Enough fish
    NIce tank, how old is it up and running?
    I started with a cannister and a HOB filter. Sold the cannister on CL, and gave away the HOB.
    I'm in ther don't use a cannister crowd, and yes, it can be done.
    All you really need is tha HOB PS- if it works, and some powerhead/fans in the tank, along with your LR.

    I can help you make a quick, easy sump. They don't all have to be an acrylic or an old tank! My 50g sump in not.

    Check mine near the end of my DT vid in my sig.

    I've been running my fluval 305 for over a year now with charcoal purigen and dry rock with no issues. Just keep it clean once every two weeks like said above. I just have problems with zoas, not sure why.

    so it looks like fluval is the canister filter of choice .
    i will be getting one of those for myself then
    the only thing i dont understand is
    is there a difference between the 305 and 306 model?
