I am currently in the cycling process (added a cocktail shrimp to get it going) and now am in the waiting faze... I noticed that dead stuff is falling off of my rock and the tank has a lot of "floaties" in it. Should I be using a canister filter to get rid of these larger particles???... after all, the protein skimmer isnt going to get them! I have a whisper power filter kicking around (but not currently on the tank)...could I just use that with some filter floss every once in a while to clean out the big chunks, or do i need a constantly running canister filter? Keep in mind that it's only a 35 gallon, so I'm trying not to go overboard so I don't screw up the biological filtration and waste money! Thanks, Mike _________ SOLD THE 55 GALLON...moving to Atlanta and hoping to get a nano as soon as possible.
