Hello all,
Despite having freshwater/brackish water fish tanks for almost 4 decades, they've generally been smaller tanks in which HOB filters were sufficient. I was lucky enough to win a Marineland C-360 at Aquamania auction last week and have just finished installing on my 55. This 55 is being converted to a mbuna cichlid tank, so getting the canister filter was most timely.
Since I need to establish the bacteria for the biologic filtration, I figure to keep the HOB filter operating along with the canister for a week. Does this seem right to you all?
