this is a forum not an english class. dont really see a point for one to speak proper english and have proper grammar. As long as the members understand the question then thats all that matters, and from what I see is that everyone understood what his goal was.
Oh i'm sorry........ we were just having a little fun...... ummmmm.... besidez.... letz see, we have people starving to death, kidz that would give anything for some education, people with no roof over their head,...... the list goez on and on and you decide to waste your time on trying to "teach" us to use correct grammar........ as I understand your not suppose to "spam" forumz..... From what I see your post has nothing to do with thiz thread.......Well anyway thankz for your rant and non-helpful post kj5kb
Sincerly, Your dooD
Anyway....

right have to say so farm i'm pleased with Marinelands new canister filter (C series) the only down side to them i can find is no bloody spray bar. but as i understand it the rena spray bars fit onto them just fine (this is my source for this info). i would also say that if i had not gone with a C-220 for my tank (heavily planted) i would have gone with two 2213s or 2215s.
for HOB i only use one right now (AC 20 on a 4 gal planted betta tank). when i was starting out i had a succession of HOBs. first was a whisper and it was a horrible filter, then a AC and penguin Bio-wheel. i was really please with both filter. the AC really allow flexibility for filter media and is a good HOB filter for a low-mid tech planted tank. the Bio-wheel i also liked but is not suited for planted tank as much as the AC. if i was going to go a fish only rout for my tank i would defiantly get one again.

I think you have a problem with the "Z" and shift keys on your keyboard, you might want to try newegg.com
As for filter prices, try ebay. I just picked up a (questionably) new AC110 for about $60 shipped.

I must apologize...that didn't come out right. Guess I've been spending too much time on car forums and newsgroups which are rife with such language. I should have been a bit more polite.
Anyhow...on topic...
I have Reverse flow undergravel filters (RUGFs) driven by 1-3 Penguin 660r powerheads, depending on tank size. Each tank also has an HOB filter; I use all Whisper HOBs for standardization. I've been quite happy with that setup.
A lot depends on the size of tank, stocking, how much $$ you want to spend, and how much maintenance you are willing to do.
I suggest Petsolutions.com or aquariumguys.com to get an idea on pricing.

Please do not use the red! I for one have seizures and the red can set it off.. Please abide by posting rules as Mods have warned you.Thank you
I have HOB's and a couple of HOT's. Of all my filters I like the Aqua Clears the best. I have also found that although made by the same company, Penguins seems to have a better motor/energizer than the Emperor series. For small, I do like the Whisper HOB's and use the next higher size. Anything over 20 gallons I like to go canister or wet/dry. On my 90 I run AC500(110) AND HOT Magnum(250gph). My water is crystal clear and I have no complaints.
