Bigger hob filters?

[livebearerfreak]

If you get a lot of filters for it and spend 200+ dollars it might be worth just getting a fx5 instead.

eheim 2262 is better then fx5.. or any fluval filters..

Good point 2 ac 110s and a large caniter would cost me well over $200

Supreme made a HOB called an Aquamaster 600. It was bigger than the AquaClear 500 (110). Put out 600 gallons per hour. It was a good filter. Don't know why they discontinued it.

See im lookin for somthin like that

fx5s are hard to get now,they are not being made anymore, fx6 replaced them and fx6s cost 300+ dollars so maybe 2 xp3s might have to do... 2 xp3s is 230$s...

I only run 1 canister now. They really aren't energy friendly except the eheims. If I'm gonna run a 50+watt canister why not just run a 70watt sump that can filter 2 tanks itself.

A sump would be the best filtration for his tank probibly... The problem is all the complex plumbing... A sump would be great but at least a canister is second in line(ussally IMO) I like canisters beacause thay are more costumizable than hobs(most hobs are desighned to make you buy usless carbon bags so it can be hard to make a no bypass media... The only reason most of my filtrers are hobs is beacause they are dirt cheap, i rather have more canisters... i only have 2 canisters...

Every hob is customizable. I never buy filter pads from the lfs. I use all diy media in my hobs. I can run 3 hobs and equal the power consumption of a canister. The aquaclears and aqueons are by far the best bang for the buck filters.
