I have a marineland c-530 canister filter that I'm not using, and wondering if I can use that as a sump for a 20 gal tank?
i've seen people retrofit them to work as reactors, containing something like carbon, or what have you, and i suppose you could include rock rubble in it, although it might still end up trapping a bunch of detritus, so would probably need regularly cleaned.
How would I turn it into a reactor? Id be interested in that.

I use two older fluval canister filters: one on a 65 gallon skimmerless tank with no media or rock, just granulated activated carbon and gfo in mesh bags in the baskets; the other on the main system which also has a sump and skimmers.
