250l reef with canister filter only... A bad idea?

Hi Simon,

You can have your 250l with lots of LR and a protein skimmer. I'd skip the use
of a canister filter.

Here's a brief overview of what you should consider when setting up a sal****er
tank. Since you want a few fish and some easy invertebrates, lighting won't be
a big expense/consideration.

Hi all

I have a quick question. How feasible would a 250l setup be with only a
Fluval 404, a couple of small powerheads and lots of live rock? Is all the
other paraphernalia such as skimmers absolutely necessary? Essentially all
I want is a couple of small fish, and some of the easier to keep inverts. I
have seen a couple of nice setups like this. If it's a bad idea I'd rather
not and stick to my malawis....

Thanks
Simon
