Hey guys, I have a 46 gallon bowfront and currently it has a marineland c220 canister filter, 30+ pounds of live rock, 1 and a half inch bed of live sand and a nice cleanup crew consisting of scarlet leg and blue leg hermits, turbo and nas snails, 3 emerald crabs, 2 camelback shrimp and 2 brittle stars. I've only got 3 false perc clowns in their now, my wife is wanting either a yellow tang or a blue hippo tang. I know the tank would only hold a small tang but I plan on purchasing a larger tank within the next year for now I am addicted to saltwater tanks. My wife is kinda peeved cause I spend more time on the forum and reading books and checkin my tank than hangin with her, oh well. Anyway, I'm curious on whether or not that's enough filtration for my current setup, have really looked into a protein skimmer and possibly a wavemaker or somethin to add more current. The c220 doesn't provide much current and i catch one of the clowns hangin in it for a couple of seconds and then swims through a big piece of live rock with a hole in it. Its a daily routine for it. What would you guys recommend, I would like this to be a reef tank eventually. Thanks, probably bein too vague.
