Looking into this from your post I'm trying to figure out what it would cost to have a complete setup for a 90 gal, bb tank.
Canister filters predate this and go back to the 70's (Eheim) even though I don't go back that far. I use two canisters in circuit now with UV sterilizers on the outflow but would like to get an economic handle on what actual costs are, including consumables, like micron filters, etc. I don't age my water now, no room for that, but double dose with Prime.
