HOB filter or a Canister for a 38G Tank :)

[nimo]

Hello, I have converted my 38G Freshwater to Saltwater. Its in 4th week now. I am running a skimmer and HOB filter, started with live rocks and live sand and a blue damsel which is doing great. My HOB Filter is running with the filter it came with (a blue filter attached to a carbon container)and I have not added anything to it yet.

Love to know if I should move to Canister or stay with HOB. Also what kind of media should I use in HOB or Canister?

Thanks in Advance...:angel:

Both HOB or cannister will do the job. HOB are easier to change out media but canisters don't make as much salt creep. I like activated carbon always and use gfo if phosphates are creating an algae problem.

Thx for reply. Yes I need to clean salt from all around filter cover and few more areas. What Would you recommend for a 38G --- Fluval 306 (303GPH), Fluval 406 (398GPH) or Eheim 2213. Thx
