Filteration Suggestions

[piercy]

:help: I'm starting out as a saltwater aquarist. I recently purchased a 75 gallon tank. I've been doing a lot of research on different filteration systems and can not figured out what the best system is to run with that tank. I was going to go with LifeGard Modular canister setup but i found out that wasn't good way to go. I've been reading a lot of posts on this forum about peoples opinion. I guess what I'm saying is that I dont want to spend more time maintaining it then I do enjoying it. Suggestions would be really appericated
Thank You

We need way more info than the tanks size. what you plan to keep in it is more important.

I'm mainly looking for a fish only right now, but I'm looking to add some corals in the future. So I want a setup that I can still use if I change it to a reef tank.

Keep reading, there's no way around it...if you want a system to thrive you're going to have to spend some time maintaining it, unless you hire a professional to do it for you. :thinking:

you can build your own wet dry...check out the diy wet dry threads in the archives. I built my own and it works great on my 200 gallon. I am setting up another 150 and will also build another diy filter.
