Afternoon guys,
Boring day at work so reading up on things I may have missed regarding saltwater tank setup that I will be starting sunday.
I just read an article that filters should not be used for saltwater setups?
is this true? I have a Ehiem Pro 3 comming (Eheim GmbH & Co. KG | EHEIM professionel 3 (GB) 2071 2073 2075) which has a sponge filter and draws for media.
However on reading an article on another site they have said dont use external filters on saltwater setups just use live rock as external filters can cause the nitrate levels to rise?
Is there any truth to this? and am I ok to use the filter I have ordered?
Jay
