Hi bro, u need a sump tank to house the skimmer and a return pump to drive the water through the chillier and back to the tank .IMO, using canister will choke up with debris in a short time and caused leakage.

Okay sure. Will go for a sump. How about the additives? Those treatments? Any recommendation?

Additives - Get a liquid bacteria ( i am using Brightswell Bactor7) to dose to speed up cycling and its also helps to break down nitrate and phosphate when u have livestock . Another must get treatment is CoralRX . For dipping and To kill parasite before introducing into your display tank.

Actually it depends on what you are keeping, if you are keeping basic coral a good salt mix will do the trick already.

thank you for your input. how about salt mix? is there any good recommendation of salt mix based on experience? or is all salt mix the same? i was thinking of getting brightwell aquatic neomarine reefsalt. is anyone using that currently?
