Experience of Power Filter with SW?

[Aqua Pro Builder]

Do you experience a lot of salt creep, SW spray when you use power filter with SW? If not, what brand and model of filter? A pic would be helpful.


Thanks

My friend is using an Aqueon 30-60 hob filter on a 10 gal and it seems to be working fine. No salt creep and decent water circulation

Salt creep would occur if you have a lot of splashing. If you keep your water level up it wouldn't happen as fast.

I used to have a 29 gallon mixed reef. I used two 65 watt CF bulbs and two aquaclear HOB filters with chemipure. Best tank I ever kept. Broke it down when I "upgraded" to my 75. Minimal salt creep. I did use a couple of small powerheads for additional flow.

I think HOB filters are fine for smaller tanks.

I used a modded Aquaclear 110 on my old 29g. Keep the water level high and there is minimal salt creep.
