Marines

[iantaylor]

Seen a great corner tank in my LFS, would look great as marine, currently got a 4'x2'x2' Discus tank fully planted,
Used to keep marine inverts a few years ago, this corner tank would just be fish possibly Lionfish, but open to ideas.
Thinking of using 2 external filters

I've got a corner bow, a 36g, that I've made into a Caribbean Coastal biotope. Haha, I can actually put lionfish in a Caribbean biotope, the pests have invaded and now have a breeding population in local waters. You can actually kill it on site if you see it and not get into trouble, they're that bad of a pest fish. I think we've the same rules for anacondas. We get just about every escaped pet in South Florida, Oscars too, African cichlids, tetras, haha, probably Discus too. LOLOLOL

IMO, the best filtration for a Marine tank is Liverock and good, strong circulation, but many also opt to use sumps and external mechanical, biological, or chemical filtration. The Liverock and flow, however, is your primarily form. Discus are hard to keep so you're already halfway there. Would like to see the setup. You may already be sumping. A lot of discus keepers have sumps.

I'd look through the journals in the journal section, but also have a read of our resource center.
