Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and in the process of converting my 46g bowfront to a saltwater tank. At my disposal I have; an emperor double biowheel hang-on filter, magnum canister filter, uv light sterilizer and power head to power the sterilizer. Now I've heard that bopwheels are bad for saltwater tanks beacause they produce high levels of nitrates. Is there any truth to that? I have also heard bad things about canister filters, whats the deal with them? Also, what exactly are the perks of a sump and is it necessary? I'm also not sure what RO/DI is, can someone please explain that to me? My tank is not yet filled with water, nor have I added any crushed coral to it yet. I plan on adding live rock, which I hear is good for cycling? Basically, I'm new to sw tanks, but have been keeping fw for about 6 years now and I would like information about what I need for a healthy setup.
Thanks for reading, I look forward to meeting everyone.
