So my filters finally on its last leg... TIME FOR CHANGE!
The tank is a 55 gallon, pretty well stocked
Unfortunately a canister is NOT an option at the moment as it would be WAY out of my budget!
I found this site Petmountan.com really great site, has DIRT cheap filters...
so what I want to know is out of these three brands which one would you recommend?
FIRST ONE!

SECOND ONE!!! http://www.petmountain.com/product/aquarium-power-filters/515831/tetra-whisper-ex-power-filters.html
EX70 - (45 - 70 Gallon)
Whisper EX Power Filters New Item
By Tetra
The Whisper EX is ready to go right out of the box. Simply adjust the in-take tube, place the filtration system on your aquarium and plug it in.The submerged motor begins filtering water immediately. No priming required. And operation is Whisper quiet.
Accurately determine when your carbon filter has expired with Tetra's Timestrip. Our patented technology allows you to see at a glance when it's time to replace your filter. The health of your fish depends on regular filter changes to remove toxins and other harmful impurities.
Our newly re-designed filter carrier holds the filter – and the drips – so you don't have to. After discarding the old filter and inserting a new one, the carrier easily drops back into place within the filtration system. It's that simple!
Unlike other filters, the WhisperEX contains multiple layers of progressively denser floss to remove even the smallest particles from the water. The carbon inside eliminates odors, discoloration and, most importantly, harmful toxins. Finally, the BioScrubber® removes ammonia and nitrites that are deadly to your fish.
I couldn't tell you whats on there now... but I believe its the older version of the tetra filter...
My budget is 80-90+ shipping which brings it to ~100...
Im open to suggestions!!!!!!
