I was planning on getting a strong canister filter, large power filter, and a skimmer.

OR

have a wet/dry filter with a large power filter. and skimmer

Im kind of worried about the wet/dry filter since I live in a apartment.

For a 26 Gallon I would either get a:

They have a lot of flow, are easy to maintain / service and very reasonable priced. I am in an apartment as well and haven’t had one leak yet (knock on wood.)

In this episode True Flow shows how effective their air filters and air intakes are. These filters are made with fully reticulated foam cells that have a specially formulated tackifier, which creates an impossible journey for dirt particles attempting to enter your engine. Another great feature of True Flow air filters & air intakes is that they are reusable, thanks to their specially formulated foam filter cleaning kits!

What you can put to great use is a graduated neutral (not "eternal") grad filter. It does a similar job as a polarizer, but it works regardless of the direction in which the camera is pointed. The degree to which polarizers are effective at darkening the sky depend on the orientation of the camera towards the sun.

I wouldn’t recommend that you get a polarizer for your cokin system though, instead get a circular polarizer that you can screw right on the lens. That’ll be much easier to use than having to set up the whole filter stuff every time you want to use a polarizer (and that’s something you’ll likely want often).

Also, you can easily build a variable effect neutral density filter if you simply get another linear polarizer that you screw in front of your circular one. The second one MUST be a linear one, and it MUST be in front of the circular one for this to work (two linear ones would work as well, but that’d throw off your light metering). You’ll be surprised how cheap linear polarizers are compared to circular ones by the way, i paid just 10€ for a 58mm Hoya one.

Why should one use polarizers as a variable neutral grad instead of the cokin system? First of all, it’s a variable ND that you can set up to the desired effect in no time, and it’s compact to carry around. Also i’ve found that filter in a cokin system tend to degrade the contrast. Just a bit if it’s a single filter, but a lot if one stacks filters. Admittedly my filters weren’t of the best quality though, i got a cheap filter holder copy from hong kong which works just fine (instead of paying extraorbitant prices for a bit of plastic and an adapter ring from the original manufacturer), but i didn’t buy original cokin filters but used the tian ya one that were supplied with it. Just try it out yourself and take a look how using and especially stacking your filters affects the histogram. You should see no relevant change there if they are good and stackable. I definitely did see a massive change with stacked tian ya filters (not so much with a single one). The variable ND filter made from two hoya polarizers however did not change the histogram and thus the contrast in any way, hence i regard it as totally superior in all ease of use, versatility and optical quality.

I do use the filter holder for a single graduated ND filter though, that’s definitely a strength of that system and that’s a filter you should have. Go for the ND4 graduated one.

It sounds like a regular UV lens and possibly a polarizing lens would be a good start.

A neutral density filter will allow you to get shots where you can get the sky to stay blue, but not underexpose the landscape. If you plan on taking landscape photos. It also reduces the amount of light without affecting the color. Eliminates overly bright, washed out images.

A Polarizing filter will let you take exciting pictures! no, only you can take exciting pictures. A polarizing filter is basically sunglasses for your camera. This is useful when the subject is to bright.

A Cross-screen filter has a grid on it, which allows you to add a sparkle to shiny objects. Such as water.

A UV filter filters out uv rays, so the pictures look brighter. And if the camera falls, the uv filter will break and not the lens.

A diffusion filter (also called a softening filter) softens subjects and generates a dreamy haze.

A Close-up filter is a simple secondary lens used to enable macro photography without requiring a specialized primary lens. They work identically to reading glasses, allowing any primary lens to focus more closely. While some single-element close-up lenses produce images with severe aberrations, there are also high-quality close-up lenses composed as achromatic doublets which are capable of producing excellent images, with fairly low loss of sharpness.

Infrared cut-off filters, sometimes called IR filters or heat-absorbing filters, are designed to reflect or block mid-infrared wavelengths while passing visible light. They are often used in devices with bright incandescent light bulbs to prevent unwanted heating. There are also filters which are used in solid state (CCD or CMOS) video cameras to block IR due to the high sensitivity of many camera sensors to near-infrared light. These filters typically have a blue hue to them as they also sometimes block some of the light from the longer red wavelengths.

A Dual image filter
One half of dual-image is transparent while the other is black. Used for producing special effects by taking double exposures.
example

Intensifier Filters brighten and saturates colors of the filters color.

Split Field Filters
One-half of the picture receives a close-up effect while the other half is normal. Both very close and far subjects can be in focus at the same time. Or one-half of the picture can be out of focus for special effects.
