Im so tired of the fluval shooting a burst of airbubbles into the tank every few minutes i was thinking of ditching it. I've been reading that some people dont use a cannister and was wondering if I coudl ditch it?
I shoudl note that the tank is sort of built into the house and a sump is not possible so im limited to small spaces on the ends of the tank.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

First I would personally and emphatically ask you not to A$$ any corals as that could be painful and the toxins could be deadly! Now that I have stopped chuckling lets answer that question. I would keep the Fluval if its working for you just watch your Nitrates and keep it maintained. I read that space is an issue is a remote sump possible? Like the basement, crawlspace or garage?
