Eheim 2229

[Cindy & Ken]

I have a 100gal FO tank and am thinking of replacing my current wet/dry
filter (which has bio-balls) with an Eiheim 2229.

Is this a good move? I currrently have problems with cloudy water. If I
use some ph adjuster it clears up for a while, but then clouds up again.

Thanks

Canister filters are not good for marine tanks, they tend to create
high amounts of nitrates, necesitating frequent water changes.

The bit about filters is about 1/2 way down.

canister filters are more an issue w/ reef tanks than FO tanks
if you clean the filter regularly, you shouldn't have a problem

For FO in marine tank according to "Cindy & Ken", it should be ok. BUT still
need to attend schedule water changes. It not to critical since they only
have Fish and not coral / clam etc... that is sensitive to the condition.
