    Fluval FX-5 clearly, glad someone posted that. It's going to be the best filter by far.

    i dont know if this would sound rediculus to everyone else. But for my 150 set up i just used a 1600 gallon rate pond pressure filter from lowes with a 700 gph wet or dry pump it all sits under my tank and keeps it super clear and is pretty quite. It uses sponges and bio balls. I just waited until some stuff went on sale and got the whole set up done for like 60 bucks.

    I guess it's time for an update since someone dug this up lol, I ended up giving it to a friend who was looking to upgrade, it turned out pretty nice he used a large wet/dry for a filter. I think he's on aquariacentral. He's got a cool arowanna in it
