Canister filters

[tigercat]

I'am thinking of getting a canister filter for my 150 gallon tank. What brands do you recommend ? Thanks for your help everyone.

I have an FX5 on my 150 with several 8 inch fish in it. I have biomax in all three trays. I do a water change once a week and my water perimeters stay flawless.

Hard to beat the value for the price of the Fluval FX5. Would be perfect for a 150g.

If you have the cash, I'd vote for an eheim 2262

Like the other guys said. The FX5 is a very good filter system. Its go up to 400 gallon tank. Would be perfect for your tank.

I would recommend the Aquatop CF500UV 5-Stage Canister Filter with 9W UV. It's rated at 525gph. I descided to get two of these instead of a FX5 since it was double the filtration with the UV as an added bonus. Company has been great and they have great products. My water has never been clearer.

Rena XP 3 or 4, Eheim 2217 or 2262 or the Fluval FX5.

I just wanted to add this: with the FX5 by it's self, my water perimeters were always perfect, but the water was never crystal clear. It was always slightly cloudy. I added a Magnum 350 to the tank with the micron filter to act as a water polisher and now my water LOOKS as flawless as it tests. I also have an AC110 on the tank just because I had it laying around. I use it for extra mechanical and if I need to add chemicals, I put it in the AC110. Right now I'm running Zeocarb in it; again just because I had it laying around.
