I'd stick in as many bio balls (such as the Maxspect ones!) that you can fit! :)

Have a look at this video, it might be helpful for you..

I ran my first reef tank (a Fluval Roma 125) off a canister with reasonable success. It does require a fair bit of filter cleaning but it can definetly be done..

Q: Are you buying a new tank? :)

I got a used tank from a guy from Facebook that was leaving the hobby. I'm trying to do this all budget coming from a 32 biocube that we had for about half a year and wanted bigger tank. Thank you for the advice I appreciate it!

Give YouTube a good go; there are several reefers out there using the Fluval (and other!) canisters.

The FX6 is a beast, you can fit a lot of media in that one! Plus it has a super convenient function for your routine water changes.

Now, off course I would prefer a sump but saying that you can not do reefing on a canister is a lie! :) Best of luck..
