Dont kill me right away.
Ok so when I bought my redsea max 250 he had a 301 fluval canister filter running on it which i got for free,
I haven't used it since buying tank.
NOW thoughts why cant I clean and modify the canister filter and run it as an algae reactor, so internally would be just 2 filter pads and LEDs to grow macro algae to lower nitrate and phosphate.
I dont think I can run a sump as cant drill my tank and internal reactors can only be a max of 3.5inch wide so not big at all, so if I can use the canister filter as an external reactor it would be a nice large volume and conveniently out of the way.
Thought???
