I am gonne upgrade my filters for my 55g tank...I am looking for overfiltration.....I prefer a hang on filters..........What brand would you guys reccomend???
 
i got an AC110 a few weeks ago for my 55 and i am really liking it. I was deciding between that and and emp400 but a local LFS had the AC110 somewhat cheap so i went with it and i dont regret it one bit.
 
I current have a AC 70 for my 30g tank...I love it but i just wanted to try something else....I guess I will go with the 110.....anyone know websites where I can find it cause at LFS they dont have it...
 
ac110s are great..

out of my penguins, emperors, and the acs.. i prefer the ac110s the best.. just gotta watch out with the weaker fish.. the intakes will suck them up and wont let go..
 
Yea...I just use three sponges in the AC...is this ok?
 
I dont use the carbon or the BioMax balls...its cause the BioMax nets always seem to rip open and the carbon well I just dont need it....So i use three Sponges is the inserts...this is ok right?
 
i use sponge and or scrubbies in all of my hob filters (as well as some filterfloss for polishing).. never had a problem with any of it

fyi you can get about 26 scrubbies in a ac110 without the blocksponge thats included about 15 with the block sponge (both counts are without the "baskets")
