Aquarium Advice FINatic
Is there a reason that so many of you seem to object to canister filters? I realize that salt water and fresh (which I have kept all my life and still do) are not alike, but I have a fluval 304 canister that I really like, and the lfs guy said I can certainly use it for salt water. He seems to be quite knowledgeable, and isn't trying to sell me lots of new equipment. He did say I'd need better lighting at some point, and a skimmer, and power heads for circulation, which I knew.
Now about protein skimmers. What are the pros and cons of the ones you are using (or have used)? I'm not dirt poor, but I don't like the idea of spending everything I have on my hobby, either.
My aquarium is 75 gallons, and so far it has un-live sand and nice warm salt water, and is cycling thanks to a couple of shrimp.
Thanks for any help!
