I recommend both the use of a good filter system as well as water changes as needed. I find the filter helps, but doesn't replace changing the water. It's also good to have the water circulating, etc so it isn't stagnant. Hope this helped :)

Maybe this will help you for my smaller crocodiles tanks 4 by 6 – 4 by 8 feet I only use fluval 403 or equivalent canister filters, the important thing is to have a depression in the bottom of the tank 12in by 12in with a 2in valve. This way all the faeces fall at the bottom and are flushed as you open the vale when needed, and all you ever use is a gallon or tow, the filter keeps everything sparkle and makes sure water circulation brings detritus at the bottom.

A friend of mine uses swimming pool filters and part water changes,his tanks are sparkling clean. If your going to get a croc you have to plan for when it gets 5,6,7 feet and up.
