210 gallon ~ S/A, C/A build; jaguar, dovii, flowerhorn, gold doviI, 2 red devils, pacu, shovel nose cat

10 gallon ~ ghost shrimp breeding (fish treats) haha -
Any filter would work for sw or fw.
Filters don't discriminate. LoL!. What size tank is it though and how much live rock do you plan to use?
I've had snowflakes before with just lots of LR and a powerhead for circulation, no actual bio/mech filtration otherwise.700g Mini-Monster tank -
Id put him either in a standard 55 or a custom 55 that's 3 feet long and 24 inches tall and 18 deep...and prolly not much live rock210 gallon ~ S/A, C/A build; jaguar, dovii, flowerhorn, gold doviI, 2 red devils, pacu, shovel nose cat

the more live rock the better the biological filtration since FOWLR is really what that is, bio-filtration dependent on the LR to sustain beneficial bacteria. In that size tank I would try to do at least 1lb/1g and the emp filter would work fine for mechanical filtration and add a powerhead for circulation.700g Mini-Monster tankComment

It's not that hard and with fowlr it's less crucial. Just make sure you to off with good fw and only replace the saltwater you actually remove during water changes700g Mini-Monster tankComment
