Hey guys im gonna get the aquaclear 110 for my 55 gallon for now cause after dishing the money out for the tank and stand not really feeling spending that much again on a cansiter right now, maybe in the future when i run into alittle more money. But tahts besides the question.
The question is, i have heard of people rigging up the filters themselves, for this filter what can i get from bigals for replacement filters that would be cheaper than buying the boxed one at the lfs. Someone said about using old pantyhose or something, not real sure, i hope some of you know, and also i read in another post that the carbon isnt that important, i plan on getting real plants some day so im guessing i dont have to worry about the carbon filter just the other 2.
thanks

PS as far as a heater, should i go with a submersible one, and is 300w good or overkill? and will that just go right under the gravel or whatever i decide to put down?
