You could take a look at this.

I just got it the other day based on some wonderful reviews from AA members.
I've never seen my water so crystal clear....it kinda looks fake.

Any idea how much your "8 large rocks" weigh? I assume since you have 7 chromis in the tank the lr you have is providing enough bio-filtration so I'd remove all the media (sponge, bio-media) from the canister filter.

You could use it solely for circulation cleaning every other week or use Purigen which is a synthetic resin which works similarly to carbon but a whole lot better

Going to move this to proper forum. Good Luck.

i would say that there is about 35 to 40 lbs of live rock in there. i'm not sure that is enough yet to remove the filter. i am getting ready to order about 25 lbs of base rock, and by the time it gets here, i should have about another 10 lbs of live rock added in the tank, so that's when i'll think about completley removing the filter.
