I just upgraded to a 75 gallon and my hob aquaclear filter does not fit with the new canopy (my skimmer barely fits). I am looking for a filter to run carbon in and to do occasional water polishing when I blow the detritus off the rocks. I have no sump.
No experience with canister filters - are they easy to use? Do they leak easily? I will not run it continuously, so is it easy to set up and take down, or is it a hassle?
Is the Magnum the only canister filter that has the micron/water polishing filter? Can I run just carbon alone - without the foam sleeve over it?
Is there any real difference between the HOT magnum and the regular 350 magnum? I probably want the 350 because my canopy is not very compatible with things hanging on the back.
thanks.
