You need a protein skimmer, not a canister filter.

It has a protein skimmer too, which is up and running. The previous owner kept the filter working too but i remember reading that i shouldn't need one.

LoL that looks like a decent amount of LR-- more than 10 lbs, haha. Did you have a chance to weigh it?

I did not. I can tell you though that it filled up four 5 gallon home depot buckets.

Wow, that's a decent amount. Not sure if the buckets are anything to go by, but my LR was transported in 4 five gallon buckets. We filled them with about 20-25 lbs each, filled the up with SW and brought them home. Sounds like you got an awesome deal!

Any advice on how the powerheads should be positioned? I have them pointing at an angle (I think you can tell from the pictures) so that they do hit the live rock.
