I recently purchased a 75g tank. I was considering the AquaClear 70 filter. My question is, should I get two of them? And what should I buy to create a small current throughout the tank? Like a power head? It's 4ft long. Thanks!!!!
Nu-Nu the eel said:Nah man just get an AC 110 IMO. Alot of people like to add canister filters to that, but not everyone.
Nu-Nu the eel said:Hmm... Ya it should be enough, but i think i would do more to keep those trates down
jetajockey said:The filter in and of itself isn't going to do anything about nitrates anyway. I agree though, go with the 110 better yet get a canister.

CorallineAlgae said:A canister filter would be best if you're going planted. It could also be easily setup to create your current without a powerhead if it's rated for enough flow. I'd look at a Rena XP4 or a sunsun (forget the new name the company uses). Both are great values and fine filters. The advantages of a canister is quiet operation, lots of room for polishing and bio media, you can easily add all kinds of stuff inline stuff like heaters or co2 reactors, and you can reduce or increase the amount of surface agitation or the direction of the flow. .
