krackerjacksna Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Most people don't use them Link to comment
_Mitch_ Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I use one. They CAN be used but more maintenance is required than other filtration methods. Right now I clean mine out 1x per week but I'm switching over to twice a week because of algae issues. You must clean the canister to prevent the "crap" that gets trapped in there from breaking down in nitrates, phosphates, etc. that will go into your tank and cause harm. Check out the link in my sig (the picture) for my tank thread. Link to comment

shaqdan Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I also use one. No issues as long as you maintain it. Link to comment
FlCandy Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 ^ +1 to all of that. I use one for now and I am cleaning once a week. I like it because it is silent and has great media baskets. But you need to keep up on it's cleaning. Link to comment
