Whats the best Filtration 90 Gal - Newb Questions?

[soulFish]

What would you guys recomend for a 90 Gallon Tropical Freshwater tank? I'm a Newb, forgive the stupid questions.

1. Sump & Canister? (Yes / No) If yes why?
2. Just Canister? (Yes / No) If yes why?
3. Just a Sump? (Yes / No) If yes why?
4. What canister do you guys recomend?

I do have a partial sump, 29 Gallon, with just the bio-balls, but nothing else. Any other filtration recomendations, please fee free to recomend. Hopefully I'd like to have alittle sand/gravel on the bottom, but I am hoping to not have to vacume it out every week. And I'd also like to be able to use this setup later if I decide to try the salt setup in a couple of years.

imo, do a wet dry, amazing water quality results. worth every penny you spend on them

I like wet/dry filters for certain uses, and canisters for most of my tanks. I would recommend either an eheim pro 2, or classic.

I use the aqua clear 500's myself. I have two on my 110g tall. My tank is crystal clear, and doing great. The only thing I had to do, was to buy some 1" tubing at petsmart, in order to lengthen the intakes.
