Best Filter 4 a 75

[Adam-011]

Ok... I am wondering what would be the best way to filter a 75Gallon Tank
It would have a 15% WC 1 time a week and it's occupants would be
(1) Texas
(2) Green Terrors

And some Dithers. I dont want to spend to much money but any suggestions would be apriceated.




Thank, You <Adam>

What kind of filter are you looking for? HOB, cannister, wet/dry?

 

[Adam-011]

Cannister i suppose lol

Ok, Ehiems are very good, maybe an FX5

With a texas and green terror plus dithers you will be quite heavily stocked...

I would suggest a combo of one HOB (AC110 or Emperor 400 or Penguin 350) and one canister (Fluval 305/405 or Eheim 2215/2217 or Filstar XP3 or Marineland C360)... and keep an eye on those nitrates (at least 50% WC once per week)....

The eheim pro II you were looking at from petsmart is good for your setup, but don't buy it there. Check the classified section on this forum or craigslist. I just got a used eheim pro II 2026 for $80 on craigslist.
