im pretty sure this is discussed elsewhere, but the jist of is that instead of having your biological media underwater, you keep it dry and drip water over it. this allows the beneficial bacteria to get waaaay more oxygen, thereby improving filter performance drastically. By the way, they're usually called wet/dry filters. what is the difference between the two filters you have listed other than the price?
