Aquascape looks much better, makes your tank look way more open, plus I don't think you'll have any dead spots(low or no flow) with the open rock work

not sure, lol never used one, depends on placement, and GPH rating, but with 2 aquaclears as well, I think youd have lots of flow.

Just my opinion but i would ditch the hang on filters because i would be scared of them filling with crud and go with the mp40(or something with similar flow) and just shoot for lots of random flow .With the open rock work and lots of flow ,thats the best biological filter . I was using alot of rock and 2 koralia 1400 in my 55 with too many fish and nitrates and phosphates never went over 0 and i got great growth from my zoas , acans and other corals.

true they can collect a lot of crap, but thats where your maintenance comes into play, I had an ac70 on my 16 gallon, and cleaned it when I did water changes never had any issues

koralias work great (and are cheap) and run quiet and the new ones can be used with a wavemaker suposedly
