        Didn't mean to be mean... was just stating the facts. Hope you're able to have the tank you want very soon!

            I agree wet/dry for the 75g.
            I also stand by my first post. Sponge filters for the 30g.

                No water turn over is more important.

                  For a 70 gallon I would go with one Eheim 2262 or Two Eheim 2217.

                    That kind of flow and you've got belly up floating discus in a few days.

                      Not completely, for a wet/dry. Maybe on a triple filtration canister.

                          Well I respectfully disagree. You can have a wet/dry that handles 1200 gph

                            Still too much for them, and for angels IMO.

                              Agreed. But not enough contact time decreases its worth wrt biofiltration capacity.
