eheim wet/dry canister
 
I bought a 108 gallon tank about 8 years ago and it has been sitting around so I finally decided to get it going. when I bought it the guy I got it from was running it as a reef tank and his main filtration was one of those eheim wet/dry canisters, I still have the eheim. I was wondering what you guys thought of using this canister filter with no media and just using it as circulation. The tank is undrilled.

If the Eheim is 8 yrs old too, you might want to tripple check all the o-rings to make sure they are not going to leak. but your idea, of useing it as a circulation pump, is ok, i would actually add some carbon to a basket and use it for clarifying the water as well. (I did).

You could also throw a couple powerheads in the tank as well.

I never thought about hte o rings thanks for the heads up. you still have some stuff for sale right? i should hook up with you. I live on the westside where abouts do you live in Kelowna. I maintain a friends tank and he wants some new life in there...
