my buddy is soon setting up a 36g corner tank. just broke down his fresh and ready for salt. he does not have any room for a sump. so, what is your opinion for filter and skimmer. thing is, he is picky. he does not want to have a bunch of things hanging off the side of his tank. he wants it to look nice. he really likes the skilter filter style, with the skimmer built in to the hang on filter. i dont have any experience with those so i cannot tell him if thats a good idea or not. he likes it because it is space saving, and would be one less thing hanging off the side of the tank. his other option was a hang on bio wheel, and then buy a hang on skimmer for the othe side of the corner tank. im sure that is a better idea, but the thing is, he said if he gets into the hobby, he is going to upgrade, and do a sump and all, so he could do a nice size skimmer and reactor and whatever. so, he does not really want to buy a small skimmer, then in a few months have to buy another ya know. so, what should he do...
do you think it would be better to run a hang on filter and no skimmer? if so, what hang on? biowheel was always my favorite.
or more of a skilter filter style? skilter filter a good filter? or is there better ones?
