Thanks very helpful! I will def check into it and let you know!

I'm personally a fan of Cascade Canister filters and Reaction 4 Stage Canister filters.

Cascades's are readily available cheap and come with a spray bar, which I love as the spray bar's great for surface agitation and helps with adding dissolved oxygen to your water.

Reaction's are also cheap and have the added benefit of the UV light to help with algae and elimination of some harmful microscopic organisms.

I also personally like using 2 canisters on a tank this way I can seriously break down and clean one while leaving the other running so my biological filtration is guaranteed to stay intact during maintenance.

thank you, and i will eventually be running 2 canisters just short on money and time right now.

The Sun-Sun,Aquatop,Marineland,Jebo are are the same filter with minor differances. All made at the same place. The Large models all move allot of water and hold as much media or more than most other brands the same size. So with them you buy one you buy the same except some do not have UV just pick the color you like best. I run two 406's and I they are not nearly as large so your 306 would be even smaller. It's like a Eheim 2217 vs say a 2260 in size. You will have a heavy load so get the biggest you can afford and I'd run two not one canister in this case. I do think the fluval is built better but I do believe they all carry the same warranty.

awesome thanks for the help and im keeping my eyes out for good deals

I think an FX5 is hard to beat for the money. I am running an FX5 with a Magnum 350 for mechanical right now and my water stays perfect and crystal clear.
