Answer 1

The best combination would be an Eheim canister filter combined with one or two aqua clear power filters.

IMO, you can't go wrong with either Aqua Clear or Eheim.

Answer 2

Go with a pressure filter Like a pentair model they are canister filter modules that allows you to service under tank. They come in 4 different modules a mechanical, a chemical chamber, a heater chamber(optional), a UV chamber, and a 1500 gallon /hour pump to push water though the filter into the tank. High flow is needed to saturate water with Oxygen.

Answer 3

For a large tank, a good canister filter should be sufficient for freshwater. Otherwise, you could make your buy a wet-dry filter (or "wet-dry sump"). Less mechanical or moving parts to service, and less chance of a wet-dry filter to leak. Canister filters may start leaking. My Fluval 404 canister filter started leaking and I didn't realize it until it was too late. Newer canister filters may not have the same problem.

Answer 4

Get a filter that is suitable ony for 100 gallons higher. The bigger the better. It is always best to have filter bigger twice the gallons of the water in your tank!

Answer 5

75 gallon isn't large enough for a largemouth bass. It should have about 100 gallons at least.

Answer 6

Two filters,#1 a prefiltered canister and #2 a hang on Aqua-clear.
