i picked up this filter from someone (i wont tell you how much i paid,cause it would prolly just make u sick lol brand new to..all still sealed in plastic and styrofoam) but i have a few questions about it....i got it and a skimmer cause i was going to make my 125 into a saltwater but im having second thoughts about it cause of the price of the rock and such and to fill up a 125 nicely is quit expensive, im not abandoning my saltwater journey just holding off till i buy a 75-90 gallon....which leads to my outher question i got this rena for the saltwater should i save it for that or should i use it on my 125 for the freashwater cause i do wanna put several larger cichlids in it and i do have 2 emp 400's to put on it. the emp's do like 70 or so gallons per hour and the rena does up to 175 gallons,but i was thinking i should use the rena on the 125 cause im going to try to get the saltwater tank reef ready so i can just screw a wet/dry right onto it so what do u all think...sorry about the run on sentence
oh and its got like 3 chambers and the book mentions lots of options for stuff to put in it like bio-chem zorb and nitrates eliminators and micro filtration pad
phosphates zob and bio chem stars and ceramic rings and carbon. what works best..this is my first run with a canister filter
This rena looks like a pretty nice filter tho, ive had it sitting under my tank for about 2 months now just looking at it you think it would be tricky with the to set up with the spray bar from the rena and the room the 2 emps take up?
