  • Many don’t realize that you can totally use a canister filter for your reef tank. Thanks to Lauren from the UA-cam Channel “Simple Aquariums” for joining me!
    Lauren switched her tank from freshwater to saltwater and repurposed a lot of the same equipment!

    I am glad to see someone bring canister filters to the attention of reef hobbyist. I had used one 15 years ago on a 75 gallon tank and had very good results. Currently I am using a hang on the back filter for a 30 gallon tank and I have both SPS and LPS doing just fine. No skimmer. Just regular water changes.
    This is a new set up that has gone through the ugly brown stage, followed by the green algae stage, and I am now getting into the purple.
    This hobby does not need to break the bank to have a working aquarium.

    Been keeping fish 41 years last 10 marine. Started ages 6 was me and my dad fav thing going round fish shop when I was young. He past away 15 years ago so 5 years after he past I got a marine tank with 2 clowns in his memory. It just snowballed from three sold all my fresh water stock and went full marine.

    Hey Remy, long time watcher first time commenter.... no that's not true, we've chatted a couple times on here. Your channel has been one of the few I have consistently watch and look forward to when I got back into the hobby. Many years ago I had a brackish water tank and eventually started up a saltwater system as well that I had running for about 2 years. At the time, I started travelling for work full time and unfortunately was not able to take care of them being home 3 to 5 days a month so I had to tear down my systems. It was a fun life living on the road as they say. I was a platinum member of just about every hotel chain, traveled all across the U.S. and a few trips oversees, but started missing having a home life. I settled back down in Buffalo and started missing my saltwater system. After a few months of checking out different tank setups and lighting options I slowly started purchasing all the equipment I was going to need to start a new tank up and now I am just a few month shy of having one up and running for 2 years. And then about a year ago I started having a real bad zoa addiction and set up a frag tank to house all them I just couldn't walk away from or pass up the deals online. WWC's Ebay auctions are a MAJOR contributor to that addiction and almost need to find a 12 step program to help ease those buy Buy BUY impulses. lol. So... I have gone way off topic. Been in the hobby for only about 4 years with a 12 year gap in between. Still basically a novice
