Roy can give you good advice....the newsgroups I posted also will also
do so as will the web based forums that Roy suggested....I know of noone
else on the freshwater groups than give you better advice than Roy
although I may be doing one or two down by saying this, but I say Roy
because he is the only one that has the real experience to my
knowledge....this is a freshwater group rather than marine...but we will
help you the best that we can....

You're asking for marine advice in a group full of freshwater aquarists.
Try rec.aquaria.marine.reefs. It's an active newsgroup specific to
marine aquaria.

IMO, canister filters are only suitable for fish-only marine setups, and
only with some additional biofiltration like a bio-wheel. Canisters are
hard to clean and tend to become nitrate factories so adding an easily
accessible prefilter is helpful.

If you want to keep inverts, remove all the biomedia and use the
canister for water movement and/or chemical filtration.

Put the word aquaria in the subject to email me.
Did you read the FAQ? http://faq.thekrib.com

It's called rec.aquaria. **freshwater** .misc for a reason Gav ;~). We
could easily advise you on equipment requirements moving from salt to fresh,
and we could discuss the various freshwater set-ups which are possible.
There are also various marine set-ups possible, but for this you're better
off in a marine forum or marine newsgroup. That's where you'll find a
variety of opinions and recommendations to choose from.

Actually most visitors typically comment on how well behaved and civil it is
in rafm, especially as there are often many different opinions to reconcile.
It's simply 'respect', for opinions, hopefully being expressed in a positive
and helpful way. Sometimes that respect (given and received) falters and
then it gets less positive or helpful. Almost feels like a family BBQ ;~)

LOL
yea easy enuf to just swap it all accross mate, cannisters are great for
marine just clean a bit more often.
Grab some black mollies for your marine tank.
easy fish and nice to have them for 2 months before trying something
expensive.
Beware any metal in the tank and that includes impellor shafts in
cannisters!
