So I'm thinking of switching to a canister filter. I have always used the over the side ones but canister filters seem to be the way to go once you hit 55gal. What is your favorite brand and why? I have been looking at reviews all day and I can't make heads or tails of it. all of the reviews are mostly split, for all of the ones I have been looking at.
API Nexx (I like that you can add more canisters if needed, that the canisters can be removed for cleaning while the filter still runs, but it seems it leaks... But I dont know if that is user error or actual flaw.)
Fluval (Seems to be solid but PRICEY)
Cascade700 (On the small side gph wise but still a bit pricey)
I don't want to shell out a ton of cash for unreliable performance. If there is a lesser know brand like sunsun (Just throwing that out there) that is awesome and cheap I'm really ok with that!
