Best canister for 60 gallon

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I like magnums For the water polishing aspect, but they become a pain if you have to replace the Impeller an magnet, my friend has had to replace his 2 or 3 times an that part is like 40.00.

I have two Fluval 403s that work like a dream, quiet as a Mouse. If your budget can handle it get a Ehiem or a Magnum. Otherwise Id go with a fluval 304-404 or xp3 - xp4
 
Magnum best bang for your buck.drsfosterandsmith.com has them on sale now.
If money is no object get the eheim

canget them for less than $100 brand new why would i pay shipping??? i know their not top off the line but they are good for the money and low maintenence


That's the first time I've ever read something you wrote with puntuation in it.
 
If you got the money, eheim's the best. But if your like the rest of us, underbudget:D Go w/ fluval or rena.
 
just think of it this way. for cars, theres german, american, and japanese. which 1 is better? german. same for canisters. german 1s such as heim is the quietest and last longest and is durable. those go for at least 8 years or so widout problems
just change the biological stuff in the canister here n there
 
Has anyone experienced leaking in their canisters? Ive heard of leaks within the first year (this is the reason I didnt even look at canisters). I would not want to come home to a flood in my place.
