Biofiltration in canisters

[antimony]

Ive read on this forum that canister filters cannot be depended upon for biofiltration. Is it because theres not enough oxygen

I don't know where you read that, but it isn't true.

canisters are great for biofiltration, thanks to lots of media and good contact time..

yeah I don't know who would have told you that. Doesn't make any sense.

THAT person is no longer with us. He has become a feeder.

Whoever told you that doesn't know why they're talking about. Like someone stated earlier, canister filters provide a lot of surface area for the beneficial bacteria. Compared to power filters, canisters can hold a lot of media, and there no bypass.

yeh whoever told you that is deeply mistaken and should be fed to some sharks. on a lighter note, fbf's are great at bio as are most eheims.
