I'm putting together my 30 gallon saltwater this weekend and was looking for some opinions. I'm going to be using a HOB filter, I use a Aqueon HOB on my 15G and I'm very happy with it. But, I was wondering what you guys thought about the Penguin Bio Wheel HOB filters? Good or Bad? or what about the AquaClear? Thank you for your help.
 
This is just my opinion and experiences. What you have or thinking sounds great for fresh water. If you are setting up a saltwater consider a HOB refugium and skimmer instead.
 
Ive used both and they are both great. But for saltwater i fill them with rubble rock and seems to work great.
 
I've had a standard 29 gallon up and running for 3 months now useing an AC 50 HOB, Skimmer, and a Koralia 425 + Koralia 550.
As far as the HOB is concerned, I primarily use it for chemical filtration. (carbon, chemipure, ect)
