i agree with jwtrojan, in fact, that is exactly what i have, except i have 5 powerheads, 2 larger near the surface, and 3 smaller ones near the bottm, you can get eth emporer, like we did, and then keep the emporer for for irculation(without wheels and filters), but i would use the filter for starting out, to help get thigs under control, and or a skimmer, but IMO, if money is not an object, i would get a good skimmer instead of the emporer
but your BEST filters are a dsb with plenty of lr and good circulation and a skimmer, and no actual traditional mechanical filters

jwtrojan44,
thanks for the advice, i will use a magnum 350 pro series, it comes with a canister and biowheel in same kit, i am ordering an ebo-jager heater and i have crushed coral for substrate, i think i am getting one powerhead and the magnum moves water as well.
is bigals a good place to shop? thanks.... :)

my two cents woth,seems big als has the best prces i have saw on the internet--i ordered a couple hagen pwerheads and the rpice was 15 dolars a piece cheaper than i could find in lfs--i also saw the emepror 400 35 dollars cheaper than 3 lfs in my area--so i think it is best place to buy online that i can find--prices are awesome and shipped very quckly

Yes there is such a thing as TOO much current in a tank. I'll just say 4 Rio 2100's in a 20 gallon tank and leave it to your imagination <img src="graemlins//eek.gif" border="0" alt="[eek]" />
