Hi all,
I am setting up a fowlr marine tank in a 46gal bowfront. I have begun cycling the tank(not new to fishkeeping just salties)...fishless, of course....
My question(s) is this: I am running a Fluval Canister filter (can't remember the number, it's the 220gal/hr one) and was just given a magnum 330...is it a good idea to run both- assuming that the more movement the better? and what is the best way to run them- both with bio media in them, one with/one without, etc...since I am not doing a reef tank will I need a protein skimmer....
I've been reading and reading and have lots of info...but these are specific questions that I can't find answers to...
I appreciate all and any info anyone can give regarding this filter situation...it just seems like to run both that my tank will levitate off of the ground... but I was told it would be good to run the second one so that the return blew behind the LR....
anyhoo, TIA...
