What is the best filter for a 70 gallon aquarium?

Apr 18, 2007 by sprstud6969 | Posted in Fish

I just purchased a 70 gallon aquarium that I will be using as a freshwater tank, probably some cichlids. What would be the best, most efficient filtration setup? The previous owner used an external canister filter with tubes that lead underneath to the cabinet. I have seen the waterfall types and the under-gravel filtration systems, but which would be the best? I like the idea of the external canister in order to cut down on noise. Which would you recommend, and which brand is the best, most reliable?

I agree with Cammy and Ray S. I've had mine for about 6 years now and the only one that broke was due to me dropping it while cleaning it which cracked the housing. Six years later I can still get parts for them even though the models and styles have changed through the years. I have 4 of them total, two on each 75 gallon tank, and never will get any other brand. Marineland products are the best.
