For such a small tank no need to dose. Dosing is for people with large tanks and can't afford to do water changes large enough to replenish the elements.

If ur led is not programmable then u can't really follow nature as what bro kenyee suggested. As a general guide I say start low and acclimatize ur corals to ur lights first. Min 8hrs max 12hrs. Go for 7-8hrs first for a start.

Display Tank : 36" x 20" x 20" Herbie overflow box design, Sump : 36" x 21" x 17", Frag Tank : 16” x 20” x 16”, custom built by Tank Culture.

Lightings : Ecotech  Radion XR15 Pro x 2 for Main Display Tank, Inled R80 x 1 for Frag Tank.

Chiller : Dalkin 1hp compressor with build-in drop coil.

Skimmer : Skimz Octa SC205i Protein Skimmer.

FR : H2Ocean FMR75 Fluidised Media Reactor with Hailea HX-2500 (Feeder Pump) running Rowaphos.

CR : Skimz Monzter E Series CM122 Calcium Reactor.

Is canister a good idea for marine tanks?

Is canister a good idea for marine tanks?

I read up from this link saying it a nitrate factory and i have to wash it often. 

But the media i place in was Seachem Matrix won't  anaerobic bacteria in side the media break down the nitrate?

If i set the flow to about 100l/hr?

My current setup have 3 overhead compartment. 

1st Filter sock

2nd Skims ghost skimmer

3rd 2 pumps one for chiller another return pump.

 

No space for media that why i got another canister to support my tank bio-load.

 

Any feedback?

Upgraded my biological filter

1st compartment Wool and matrix, Second Skimz skimmer, manage to squeeze in another bag into last chamber :)

Still got space for phosphate :)

 

WC to bring down nitrates. That should be it for my maintenance regime.
