Need info on filters from you all....

[underwoods]

Hello,
I just bought a new tank , a 70 gallon tall show tank. What I have a question on is the filteration.. What should I use? I have always used the hang-on and skilters . What is the best to use ?? I have been lookin at the Fluval 404 , Magnum 350 and also the Penn-Plax Cascade 1200 or would a wet / dry be the best for me? I want one to help control the algee and help keep it cleaned up the way it needs to be. I have had salt water tanks for about 6 years and am always looking for hobbiest that have more experience and their inputs..
Thanks for your help....
Jesse

Wetdry or a diy sump/fuge.
Big difference when i upgraded to a 125g wetdry from a emperor 400.
Diy equipment section would be your best bet.

i've all 3 of those cannister filters and i like the fluval the best, with the 1200 coming in close second. a sump is the best. i agree, check out diy.

What fish are you looking to keep? Any plans for a reef tank or is it FO, or predator? Can have a big impact on filter selection.
