guys, i am planning on setting up a 5 (29g) tank.. The one problem I don't have a good solution for yet is an economical way to filter them all. I was
considering a single wet-dry filter, but have no idea how to start and how the plumbing works, as i don't have experience in doing the plumbing..

this is a similar question that i got it off from the internet and edit some of it.. if you know some links, please, post it here, for my reference..

thanks!

most hobbiest with multiple smaller tanks use large sponge filters on an air system

keeps the tanks seperate. and does a good job

Go to your LFS and ask for a six way 'gang valve'. Then just keep one closed. If you end up with a duel outlet pump, run a line to each end of the valve (it will make sense when you see the valve).

What are you going to be keeping?

Sponge filters are going to be about the cheapest in your situation.
