Best filter for 30$

[palehorse78]

i already have a penguien 330 on a 75 gallon i have about 30$ for another filter what do you guys recomend

AC300 or AC500 depending on where you go.

There is the initial purchase price, and the cost going forward -- paying for the filter media. The AquaClears win on both counts, since the initial cost is low (see bigalsonline.com), and the cost of the media is close to nothing, since you can reuse the sponges for over a year.

does the one from big als have the media included.and what about the biowheel powerfilter thing how good is that

[O-man21]

Penguines have the bio-wheel thing in it, well, newer ones do. If you want a bio-whell power filter, those are gonna run you about 45-55 dollars. That is for a Emperor 280, and judging by the size of your tank, and what you have now, that's probably what you need.

The AquaClears include the free media (a foam filter insert & an activated carbon insert) in the box.
