Quick question I'm going from fresh water to salt water. I'm gonna set up a 10 gallon tank is a Fluval 405 to much. I'm gonna split the output end so there's 2 directions. I'm gonna use it as a replacement to the power head. And the filter it self. Thanks for the input.

A canister would not be your best option for a reef tank.
Keep it simple. Your live rock (1.5-2 pounds per gallon) will be about 80% of your filtration. Put a HOB on there and a small powerhead or two, then just do your minimum of weekly 10% water changes and you should be fine.

On a ten gallon I don't think you need either. Keep it simple.

+1 on keeping it simple. LR, dedicated PWCs and a HOB with good GPH will be all you need.
The reason I'm going over board is I have a 110 gallon oceanic. That's fresh water that I'm selling. So I have some stuff that's meet for a bigger tank. And I wanna use it or just go big like the filteration I just wanna know if it will work I know keep it simple but I have it so I might as well use it

canister will be ok. Just take everything out of it and put in a few bits of LR rubble in it. I know plenty of people that use canisters. Just have to keep with cleaning them.
