hey guys,

i was thinking of removing my eheim 2026 after upgrading my skimmer to MCE 600 . The reason i bought this canister is because i dun have a place for my phos removal media.

but after talking to some reefer, i also realise my canister do really trap lotsa debris. will removal of canister have an adverse effect on my tank system ?

also just found a FR which fit my tank nicely !reason to decom my canister is to redice maintainance effort.

have 2 option.

1) keep the canister and be a slave to marine( anyway i am a slave already)

2) remove my canister and used the FR.

please comment ...

thanks :peace:

To play safe, do it really slowly....maybe slowly remove the contents of your cannister over some 1 to 2 months period.

Btw, what do you have in your cannister?

:)

anyway my canister just contain some phos removal media and nitrate lock.

no bacteria house such as biohome ...it is mainly media house.
