Default What Size Of HOB Filter...

Hey all. I am just trying to figure out which HOB filter would be best for my 40 gal breeder i am setting up. Is the AC70 going to be enough turnover to filter that water (the only reason im using a hob is to skim the waters surface and run the water through carbon, and sponge. Or should i go with an AC110? I am running this system a simple as possible (ie; sumpless, and maybe skimmerless) with proper waterchanges etc.

IMO, the 110 gives you way more options and is the better choice.

though either will work.
