Ok i plan to get either an 90 gal or 125 very soon and im trying to compare tank size and what i want to put in it blah blah blah.
What im getting hung up on now is filtration . Should i go with a tank with built in overflows? From what i understand the only diffirence between the over flow style and plain tank it that there are holes for the wet dry filter. Is the wet/dry much better than the hang on bio-wheel type filters?
My other question is about the wet/dry filters. This is where i get really confused and need help clearing this up. The one i want is like $300.00 and it has a built in protien skimmer but at the bottom of the description paragraph
it says appropriate pump not included. So i went to the pages it listed for pumps and here is what i dont understand:
Do i need a power head to run the filter or a pump or both. What is a power head vurses a pump. And what is with the crazy wattage useage numbers. Can i use these pumps on a regular wall socket or what?
Please help me understand!
