Best Heater and Filter for a 55 and 90

[mgarrido]

What i have in my 72G tank and works really well for me is 2x Eheim 2217 and the lifestock are angelfish, barbus and plecos. I can handle that bioload maybe just with one but i have double everything in all of my tanks.

haha yeah... it has a thermostat, but i will prolly get one just in case anyway.


opinions on this filter

says up to 120 gallons, but...

Filtration is one of the most critical components of your tank, if you are looking for a cheap solution i would suggest sponge filter and a HOB (AC110), i'm sure that you can find an AC110 used for 40 bucks as much.

I'm not a fan of internal filters, but I've heard so-so things about that brand. Probably worth the price.

55 gallon- C-360 canister and a stealth heater to fit the tank

90 gallon- two C-360 canister filters and two heaters that are half the strength, one on each end.

im trying to spend less than 100 bucks for all of it

Less than $100 for filtration and heating for TWO larger tanks? Good luck.

I agree...

 

[Jakezori]

no less than 100 for filtration on the 90.. sorry

look for a good deal on used filters check ebay and craigslist often. going to be hard to get a couple nice canisters for 100 or less but it can be done if you just keep looking.
