Canister filters are much more maintenance-intensive on a saltwater aquarium because they turn into nitrate factories without frequent cleaning; biological filtration is king for saltwater which is why a sump is preferable, if possible.

Ty sir. It's truly not much to look at now but I plan on it looking pretty nice as time goes on.
To start it off for price:
Bag of salt mix - $26
40 lb bag of aragonite - $45
Bottle of instant cycle - $25
19 lbs of live rock + 1 lb of rubble - $100 (i got a deal)
The fish prices are not really needed due to they were optional
So pretty much $200 just to get it going to where it's at now.

buddy hear me out! maybe just maybe look into peacock mantis shrimp and youl fall in love just look into them. there active cool looking big shrinp than flicks and generates as much power as some rifles! so you need special glass but doesnt cost too much more at all and there over all just a ****in beast! great awesome predator and yet still shines off its beuty and is active agile little ****ers who break divers fingures single flick. and well yes this may have happend to me but ah I rather not get into detail as it ****in stings like your fingure got cut ****in off
lol no **** SW i live for freshwater! just my friend has dived and got ****ed by a mantis shrimp and there awesome critters but not something id get due to extra care price and so on. fresh water preds for da win!
