Ok heres the scenario.

You have a 55g tank and only $500 to spend on any filter system you want. What would it be. List any brands and types of filtering systems. List your reasons why.

Remember, you can only spend the money on a filtering system.

;)
 
Eheim 2026 Professional II ($169.99)
-> 1 Liter Seachem Purigen ($35.99)
Vortex D1 Diatom Filter ($79.99)
-- Total: $285.97 :p:
 
I would get 4 50gal HOB filters muahahaha

And a life time supply of sponges and filter floss.
 
I would get a Jebo Odyssea CSF4. Shipped, would only set me back $50-70. Then, I'd have a lot of money left for other things.
 
an instant flushable kind :dance:

on my 55 i have a filstar xp3 cost me 89 bucks
 
I'd probably get something that works like a reverse osmosis system. The water goes through the filter, has everything stripped from it and then the minerals I want get selectively added back to the tank. Never have to worry about water quality again :D
 
Assuming that this filter isn't for a planted tank then Eheim 2227 Wet/Dry Is a nice way to go. Next to a sump, this is an excellent filter. It breaks down the ammonium and nitrite much faster then the conventional canister or hob filter.

I would use 2 Eheim 2026 Professional II. I always use 2 cans on my 55's but not eheims I can find better bang for the buck in other systems.
