what kinda canister filter should i get for my 55 gallon planted tank i wanna set up?:confused: ive never had one before, so i am not sure witch kind are good.
 
I run a Fluval 404 on my planted 55, but added a diffuser on it to lower the current. On my 135 I run a Eheim 2026, and that filter beats them all hands down IMO.
 
i am currently using xp3 by Rena on my 60 gals. i was very frustrated about it at first but it was my fault never learn from others suggestion that i need to cycle the tank first. now it's running smooth and i change the filter every 2 months. i have 7 datnoids (3.5 - 5 inches), 1 jardinni arowana (5 inches) and 4 Arapaima Gigas (7+ inches). the water is crystal clear!!!:)
 
im using a whisper 10-20 on my 220 gallon... so far so good:ROFL:

Hope you can find those Arapaimas a new home soon, they won't last too much longer in that 60g.
