AC 300 for 55g

thanx for your view, Emperor is non-existent here. so how about AC200 and custom made filter?

the custom made filter probably be a powerhead, pushing the water to a filter on top of the tank.

so i was thinking of a Powerhead, drawing water thru the bottle that contains carbon, pushes the water up to the thing on top. thru the filter media and down the outlet.

btw what do you call filters similar to the one on my diagram?
i'm currently using this kind of filter but only with 1 powerhead + the container on top with just 1 big piece of sponge. i find it hard to relate to people what kind of filter i'm using.
 
oh. my new tank is approx to be 65 gal.(48x18x18).

so i might get an AC200 and use it together with one of my modified filters. the AC300 is rated up to US 100 Gal, while AC200 is up to 50 Gal (more than 2/3 of my tank volume).

so what would be better for my 65 gal oscar tank.?

1. spending about 130 bucks and using the AC300 alone

2. spending about 150 bucks and using the AC200 + another modified filter(powerhead + trickle)
