    So I have started to piece together what my first saltwater setup is going to be. for a 36gal or a 46gal bowfront with fish and liverock only I have ordered 2 [FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica][SIZE=-1]Hydor Koralia Nano 425 Aquarium Circulation Pumps and a [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica][SIZE=-1]Fluval E 200-Watt Electronic Heater. I figured 1 powerhead would be enough but since I may do some corals down the line and to eliminate deadspots I figured 2 would be better. Now I just cant decide on a HOB filter to use, looking for something very quiet that has lots of room for chemical media since I do not plan on using a protein skimmer right away. I like the Emporor 400 and the Penguin 350 but they are kind of noisy, how do you guys feel about the aquaclears?
