For a 90 Gal. tank with 4 Pygos would you get...

Pro-II 2026 w/media @ 179.99 (90 gal )
Plus series 2215 w/media @ 84.99 (93 gal)
2217 w/media @ 101.99 (159 gal )

my thinking is that bigger better and go with the 2217. But the 2026 seems like a great deal. Would the 2026 actually handle a 90 gallon tank ?
 
I think the 2026 is a little too small for a 90 with the kind of bioload that you have. I would get two 2217 instead. You get two filters for nearly the same price as the 2026.
 
Howdy,

I have a 2217 on a 75 gal, and I will add a second one soon. These filters are hard to beat with regard to what biofiltration and reliability you get for your money, especially considering the "media included" specials.

2217.
 
Thanks....I was trying to keep it under 2 bills...would one 2217 be inadequate for the 90 gal ? I'm running two top mount filters as of now, and they aren't enough.

Get 2x 2215, 2x 2217 or a 2217 with one of your HOB filters too...

I run a 2215 and a 2217 on my 150gal and it keeps up ok, but I only have small community fish in it.
