I have been doing a lot of reading and am interested in getting a 75 gal. to 125 gal. setup. However the one area that I am confused about is what filter to get. I am not sure on what fish I am going to put into the tank, just that I am probably going tropical, warmer water fish.
I have read for a 75 gal. that the Emperor 400 is a good system but not enough by itself? I am leaning towards the 75 gal. because this will be my first tank, not sure if bigger is to big?
I have also read that anything over 75 gal. is going to need a canister filter, but what kind and is that enough by itself or does it need a secondary filter?
I would like the best for the $$$ and I see the canister filters can get pretty pricey. I am also a little concerned about the noise, it will be in our living room - with TV - is either of these louder than the other or is it no big deal?
Thanks for all the help!
