I Need Better Filtration! Please Help!

[JackTheOscar]

Hey everyone, i need some help with filtration for my 56 gallon tall. All i have for filtration in one of those cheapy filters from walmart (aqua-tech 30-60 i think) and its not cutting it in the least. With this filter its like water changes do nothing, just stir up dirt... Im looking for a filter thats under $70 but will still be a big improvement from the POS i have now.

I agree. either get two AC 110s or get one and run it with your "POS" filter.

do you think 1 cascade will be enough?

 

[haynchinook334]

one will do.....since your tank is tall not long.

1 ac 110 would be alot better than what you have, cost 50.00 (do a search on ac110"s, I'm being lazy).

if you can find one less then $70.00, then get the ac 110. and it is better the a cascade 300.
