    Hello Everybody. In the past i was think of getting a 47 gallon aquarium but then i figured i have a 20 gallon that is just sitting here. So I have decided not to spend so much money for 47 gallons. I need help. What kind of Filter Should I use? Wet/Dry or Bio Wheel? I Plan to use t-5 lighting and a smaller power head since the Fishtank is only 20 gallons. Help Please?;D

    Buy the bigger tank and use the 20 for a wet/dry/fuge. Or, if you are set on the 20, I'd use a HOB filter and a skimmer. HOB filter can be turned partly into fuge with bio wheel.

    Okay so I have found a Bio Wheel Filter for the 20 gallon... Penguin BIO-Wheel Power Filters 200 or should I go for the Penguin BIO-Wheel Power Filters 350

    If it were me, I would do this tank BB with a good HOB skimmer. CPR Bakpak or aquac remora. Tunze also makes a good nano skimmer

    that is a great skimmer for your application. I would order that with the surface skimmer and if I were designing this tank I would use that and 2 koralia nano's for flow.
