    Thinking about one of these ? Will still run my canister as well, but just hope this will tidy the top side up a bit and allow me to be rid of the ugly skimmer,, read an article that said scrap the bio balls and insert live rock ?

    Your thoughts my friends ?

    I am a little confused here... What are you looking to get and what do you already have as far as on and in your tank?

    You would be better off building a sump than the toms rapids pro filter.

    yes you Can, with a HOB overflow. if you can drill your tank thats always best but there are a very good plan B. i believe the Eshopps overflow is one of the top rated. check em out!

    Edit: wow, can u believe english is my first language?
