When I set up my next tank, filtration is going to be a powerhead in
reverse flow mode. It will be attached to a skimmer-like intake at
the top (to pull in all that nasty surface scum) and a spray-bar like
return at the bottom of the tank (to provide circulation and prevent
cold feet in winter). I don't think my tank will need any bio
filtration, but I may figure in a way to provide some mechanical
filtration in the skimmer intake box. Alternatively, I'll keep my
canister running for mechanical filtration.
