confused: I am about to upgrade to a 60 gal sw/rf some small fish tank.
Right now I have a 12 gal that has been up for about 3 1/2 years.
So as a B-day gift my hubby said I can go bigger. I want a all glass 60 gal low/wide tank, I will have live sand&rock, and will a CPR bak pak, 4 65w and moon light, 2 powerheads. My LFS said I should also have canister filter- a Fluval 404, but I read so much about the Eheim. I know a lot of people said they don't have a filter. I went to another LFS today and was told I would need 2 filters for this size tank. I think that might be over kill. So if I do go for the Eheim canister which one would be good for this tank size??? Please HELP....:
 
If this is for fish only, ehiem would'nt be a bad choice, but a good skimmer is a better choice, reef tank or fish only, I say, get a skimmer, see how it works, honestly I think it would be fine.

Remora is a good skimmer chioce.

Imo, canasters dont work that well as skimmers and wet drys do.
