Wow all the goodies gather together. Faster update your tank bro haha, saw you snapping up quite a lot of stuff at the bs thread. ps not stalking you but always happen to see you reserve some items.

Beneficial bacteria will thrive in the canister filter. But only aerobic bacteria which produce nitrates.if u are planning on keeping fish only in a salt water tank then it is no different from a freshwater tank. Nitrates will build up till u do water change And fish can tolerate high nitrate in the water. The problem comes when u keep corals especially Sps which will not tolerate high nitrates and phosphate. In order to remove nitrates and phosphate u will need some different sets of equipments/reactors/skimmers and all the other unsightly gadgets. So where do u place them ... In a sump... Then If u ask why can't a canister filter remove nitrates and phosphate .. They can't cos the water flow in a canister filter is too fast and too oxygenated for anaerobic bacteria to trive.

Here's a latest photo of my tank. This week i shall be able to add some fishes.
