Well we would need to know what type of set up you are going for. Coralreef, No reef, Agressive fish ect. the reason is that there are diffrent Bioloads on diffrent systems and theres a filter out there for each type. But I can tell you a wet dry system will work the best. Something w/ a skimmer built right in.

I was thinking about going with a a gressive setup? Which brand wet/dry filter should i go with and should it be the 75 gallon filter or the 150. and about how much would i have to spend ? I been looking on ---- lol

Are you going to have live sand in the tank and some rock work? Ussualy you would like at least 1 1/2 times the Filtration of the tank in saltwater due to the Bioloads But this also depends on plant life and the amount of fish. but I would think that a wet/dry filter that will cycle 150 will be good. Make sure that you have your powerheads and a skimmer. Also don't forget about the Cycle of your tank.

I have just 2 tanks a 55 and a little 10 g holding tank. My filter filters the 55 at 150gpd so that is good and the skimmer makes the water Beutiful.
