filters

[Ryu1981]

hi again

ok i'm moving my 10g to a 74g (300l if thats right ?)) in a few month
and i'm stuck on what filter to get , now i want a filter thats outside the tank so i can keep the tank as empty as poss
I was thinking 2 x fluval 150l filters one in each side is this good enough ? or should i go for one big one ?

Also i have just seen the tanks with the filter build into the lids where a pipe runs over the filter and pours into four containers where you can put what ever medium or filters u want in ...are these better ? ((sorry don't know the name))

the reason for 2 filters was incase one broke down i would have a few hours to get a new one ((i.e at work when it breaks down )) as they don't seem cheap and at least it would be filtering the water

any help would be great

Is the tank 300 liters or 74 gallons? 74 gallons = 280 liters, 300 liters = 80 gallons

Not much of a difference though; I'm pretty sure the filter you mentioned is an internal filter. I have 2 fluval 404s on my 75, 1 would probably be enough, but a powerhead would probably be useful for adding a bit more flow.
