Worst canister filter ever.

The marineland c series canister filters are the worst ever. I've gone through about 8 c-360s. Only reason I still have them is marineland sends brand new ones no questions asked to replace faulty ones.

Now my question is what to replace them with? I have 2 c-360s in a 125g and would like to replace them with 2 similar sized canister. My choices so far are: two 2217 eheim classics, two eheim 2073 pro 3, or two fluval 405s.
Thoughts and opinions? Suggestions? Pros cons? Thanks.

I had a fluval 305 and it started leaking after about 6 months. But fluval replaced it with very little questions as well. I haven't used the new one because I bought a Rena the day after the 305 started leaking.

Oh, well I have a power head that I run an airline to... My tank is loaded with micro bubbles haha.

I never see complaints about any of the eheim stuff though.

Eheim are great but im afraid 2 2217 wouldnt filter a 125 unless you have very light stocking. I have 2 on my 57 planted tank and that doesnt have any big fish

Erm pros and classics are roughly the same in means of filtration. The pros are MUCH easier to clean. Other then that there pretty similar in size and gph.

I personally love fluvals and stick with them just because I haven't had one fail me of years of continuous off and on service. I roughly have 4-5 405's and have no problems from any of them from many many years.. I bought at lest 3 used from people who ran them for years and they run perfectly. Whenever I see 405's for around 75 bucks on craigs I always buy it and if there's fx5s for 150 or under always buy them!
