before children I had a fish only marine tank (3ft) for eight years which I had little trouble with. I decommissioned due to risk of children toppling tank. I have just brought the tank out of storage and am looking at starting up again. I was always fairly conservative, 5/6 small fish plus 2/3 crabs/shrimps and minimal live rock. I previously used a filter that hung on the side that had built in protein skimmer (gave it away) and this was successful but am looking at options for a tank with a conservative amount of critters.
Is it possible to recommission with just a cartridge filter and a couple of powerheads to assist movement? I have been perusing the forums but there seems to be conflicting information. I do 15/20% water changes every month. What do ya reckon?
