Best Exernal Canister Filter for the Money?

[cougar579]

eheim classics are IMO the best. However Via Aqua is modeled exactly like EHEIM. I have a via aqua cannister too. They work very well. Eheim is the best. You get what you pay for.

eheim 2260 is my fav canister but best bang for the bucks have to be the via aqua 750 hands down.

Howdy,

There is only one: EHEIM

They are a bit more expensive, but they outlast most other filters. Just calculate the average monthly cost if it lasts >15 years. No kidding. My old Eheim 2211 has been running since 1990, and I have not had to replace a single part. Except for the ceramic axle which I stepped on during cleaning ...

We all know Eheim is the best, but they are very expensive and there are plenty of other brands out there that will do the job fine for a lot less money, I think this is what the original poster is looking for. It's pretty obvious these days what are quality brands, its the good value brands that are harder to find.

My new 220g whole setup cost less to put together than one Eheim Pro canister filter

You dont need the best brand names in the business just to get the job done
