I am thinking of getting this:

as my filter, but it is pricy and if anybody else had some suggestions on cheaper filtration I would really appreciate it! thank you!

This seems to be a new product. I'd certainly look for reviews of it before purchasing.

okay, but in the mean time, is there a simpler way of filtration? i have read about sumps that use a "Mud" system which grows natural biological filtering bacteria to do the job for you in a middle chamber. should I use that? thanks
