When I setup my first tank I was told that the ehiem canister was what I wanted. WRONG. Canistes are more of a freshwater thing. I have higher Nitrates than I wanted, and the dang thing just kept getting full. I had to clean mine one to two times per week. I got very frustrating. Scince then I have changed that tank to a sump filter, and all my tanks since have had sump filters. As long as you dontt let the filter pads, and ceramic media to accumulate detrius, you should be ok. But it happens fast, and decays fast as well.
