but do u think it will still be fine without a protein skimmer?

im going to run my 46 gallon fish-only and with a 3 stage canister filter and i want to know if its possible to run the aquarium on just that if i clean it very will every month?

ok! but my question is is that could i run the whole 46 gallon saltwater tank off just the canister filter. thats all i need to know.

so as long as i keep cleaning that filter goo i will be fine? and what can i do to get more bioligical filtration besides live rock and sand?

so that is all i would need to run my 46 gallon fish-only saltwater aquarium and nothing else filtration wise? i am also putting like 5 lbs of live rock too.

if i have a small saltwater tank and i want to switch to a bigger one right away can i use all the rock sand and other stuff in the tank? will it have to cycle again?

so u think it will be ok if i put a blue hippo tang and a yellow tang in there?

i may have a little live rock but most will be decor. i dont know about live sand yet. i want to use the canister for all 3 stages mechanical, chemical,and biological filtration.
