I have a 20H tank ATM, I'm very close to being done the cycle in it now. I'm looking to get all the stuff to work in my 50 first them ill move everything over from the 20 to the 50. I'm thinking about getting a penguin emperor, but I don't know what filtration is best for a 50 because ill be using sand? (I want my tank to have a dark sand+drift wood coming out then some plants) I'm not sure yet though.
I'm getting the rena xp4 ( xp xl). I personally wouldn't get hob filters for tanks bigger than 40-50 gallons. Hobs seem to break down easier when in a bigger tank. Sand is fine with hobs and canisters. Canisters provide more filtration and will clean the water a lot better. Canisters ( fluval 306/406, marineland
c-350/c-450, or the rena filstars ) are a bang for the $.
