Default Saltwater filters what is best

Hello all,

I recently converted a 90 gallon cichlid tank over to salt. I need to find a good sump filter system. Oi am going to keep fish along with some coral in the future.

I was looking at the aqueon systems. Any suggestions.?

Should I do a wet dry setup with bio balls?, or skip bio balls and setup as an refrugium? Why?

Can i do bio balls and refrugium in one? Do I meed a protein skimmer?

Right now tank is running with a eihem professional canister and a eihem wet/dry canister and fish are doing well.

Well all my fish except a bi color angel who keeps swimming with head straight up and tail down.


Ok what filter brand and type should I get, which type of system is best?

How long will it take for new filter to cycle and work properly? Do i leave my other filters running till the sump is running properly on its own? How will i know?


So much info out there and so confused. Really need afvice


Thanks in advance for your help
