Best bang for the buck bead filter for 450g?

Hey guys,

Long time since my last post. Was out if fish keeping for a few years and got back into it about 2 years ago. I currently have a 150, 125, and 90 with assorted Peacock Bass (7 piquiti, 3 kelberi, 5 orinos, 5 pinima). Space is getting very limited to say the least and I was super lucky to pick up a 10x3x2 ~450 gallon tank at a great price which I will be setting up in a few months.

For filtration I have decided to run a big wet/dry for oxygenation as well as biological filtration and also want to run a bead filter for biological/ mechanical filtration. I have been doing some research, but I don't know which brands are reputable and if some far outperform others. I am on a budget, but don't want to get a filter simply based on the price.

Thanks for any and all help,

Mike

Thanks Pacu Mom lots of good info in that thread.

Does anyone have any experience with the different brands of bead filters?

I would like to spend less than $1200 on the filter if possible.
