Need some reccomendations on filters.

[Pshmock]

I want a high quality filter for a 90 gallon tank. Any reccomendations. Also i dont want it to be too pricy.

I've filterd a 90 Gallon with two AC 100s and a powerhead (to make water movement at the bottom) and was very happy with the results...

Had 2 marineland 400's on my old 90.
You can get away with one depending on your stock.

2 ac110's with powerhead, or just get a fluval fx5 off ebay for around $200.

What is going in the tank?

I say 2 ac110's for a heavy stocked tank.. 1 could work if not. They sell for around $80 I think.

I vote for 1 AC110 and one Rena XP3 canister.

great combo.

clean the AC weekly.

clean the canister once per month

works great on even heavily stocked 90's

2 AC110s is less than $150 and should work great.

I use the foam block, a layer of filter floss, and the bag of biomax.

My vote is a FX5 just in case you get a bigger tank in the future (you know you will).

Tough to argue with that! If this is your last tank, I would agree with all the other suggestions, though.

lol, it's easy to argue with that... $200~300 for an FX5 or $100~150 for two AC 110s...


Also note that two AC 110s move more water than an FX%. While I know there is a lot more to filtration than gph... gph still matters...
