Hi, I have a few questions about which type of filter i should get. I just got a wet/dry but its not working so im gonna return it. If i wanted crystal clean water should i got with a Eheim pro 2 canister or Eheim Wet/Dry? I know the wet/dry is a biological filter but wat if i put fine filter pads into one of the baskets and used the prefilter. Would it then be a mechanical and bio filter. With the wet/dry could i keep more disucs in my tank since there is plenty of bacteria in just that filter itself and its breaking down ammonia and turning it to nitrite? Thanks in advance

I would never buy a canister filter for a discus tank again. I have never used a wet/dry so can't comment on whether water would be "crystal clean". I can tell you that water is crystal clean with an aqua clear 110 (with a sponge prefilter on the water intake). Nothing that I have used keeps the tank cleaner.

Thanks for the reply Carol. I already have a AC 500 with prefilter and a hydro v sponge. I just wanted extra filteration n i chose to go with a canister.
