I have used these kind of filters for fresh and saltwater. I use a modified 300 on my 60 gallon FOWLR. IMHO, the bio wheel and filter pads can become bio-traps. What I do is, I remove the the wheels, pads and replace the pads with polyfilter or plain nylon pads. I will add carbon when I want to polish the water. I like the ability to clean the polyfilter and throw it away when it looks dirty. Just my 2 cents.

i had a emperor 400 on my 90 for the longest time.. i had a skimmer running 24/7 as well but on that tank i say yes. it should work. if you want, you could have someone on the boards build u a sump for 50-60 $
