*I agree with Pszemol also. I have no mechanical filtration of any
kind on any of my tanks..My sand bed and live rock do it. I use hob
filters ( Aqua Clear brands) without media for current flow or a place
to put ac etc, not filter media, and the power heads provide nothing
but current flow, and nitrate or other junk has never been a problem
for me. I maintain all reef and reef w/fish tanks. All have surface
skimmers or protein skimmers.

...

you want a filter that will filter your tank 5 or more times a hour, no
matter if its Salt or freshwater. Sump or no sump. Look on the side
of the
filter package when buyig a filter it will tell you how many Gallons per
hour (GPH) it does.


Are you guys talking about reef tanks ?
I am confused... This recomendation would be
agains the reef tank idea. Maybe fish only tanks ?

I would say I have to heartily disagree with Wayne and Peter Pan, and
very much agree with Pszemol. Mechanical filtration for a reef tank = bad.
