I have a 38 gallon tank set up and currently has 2 HOB filters. One is a aqueon50 and the other is a marineland bio wheel 30. I am using them now to clean some of the cloudyness out of the water since my hubby dumped in unrinsed argonite sand. I am not wanting a sump so I was wondering if i could just use a HOB skimmer and the live rock in the tank to filter? (i was told to do this by someone else). or do I need to use another type of filter? I was told the kinds I have would kill the fish by causing nitrates....The tank currently has 40 lbs of sand and 25 pounds of live rock..... anything else i need to know would also be helpful!
