This post will be offensive to some viewers due to it's extremely sacrilegious content...
On my 75gal marine only salt I run:
1 fluval 405 full of ceramic rings and floss, With the intake near the surface.
1 tidal 75 hob with purigen, phosguard and more floss, intake 3 inches off the bottom
2 powerheads with air attached to under gravel across the live rock
And
NO protein skimmer.
With that setup, a 25% water change every 3 months is all the maintenance it needs. Weekly maintenance is a top off and monitoring the various water quality things which are always stable and perfect.
Salt isn't that scary or even a ton of work! Just have fun with it and a canister is still useful and great.
