I am just starting in to salt water.

i would suggest you toss out the rena filter. its more of a headache later. keep up the water changes and have good current. also check salinity every day... or at least once every other day. go build a aquaclear 70 or 110 fuge.

works wonders. i started salt water with a 10g nano as an experiment (literally... never expected to get into salt water) and its been stable after the 1st 2 weeks when i finally built the fuge. never "cycled" my tank...
