Aquarium Advice Apprentice
My 72 gallon bowfront has been up and running for one year, and everything is going great. Amonia and nitrites are at 0, and the nitrates run from 0 to 10. The fish and corals are thriving.
My filtering is done by live rock, an Aqua C Remora (which I clean 2 or 3 times per week) and a cannister filter (which I clean once per month). I do 10% water changes weekly.
The folks at my LFS say I'm crazy not to switch to a wet/dry system. They say it requires much less maintenance than the cannister, and that I will not have to do water changes so frequently.
The only reason I'm hesitating is that I will have to cut out the back of the filter compartment in my stand, because its only 18" deep.
In your opinion, is the wet/dry system that much better?
