cannister

[fish meat]

what cannister filter is best for a 130 gallon?
brand?
price?
GPH?

I personally would do either a 2260, 2262, 2080, or dual 2078 eheim filter. Price on these range from 250-600. Many don't come with media, and the media can run 100-250.

No hard facts in yet but I bet the new Marineland C-Series will be quite the performer also.

I think you are right, but there is always the bug time. Marineland hasn't done a canister, and there will be some time to wait while we see how these new canisters measure up.

FX5's are good mech filters, but they fall short in bio compared to the eheims.

Eheim 2217 and a biowheel.(Penguin 350 or Emporer 400)

I have an eheim wet/dry that has been on my 75 gallon for almost 11 years and still running strong! Original media and very little care is required to upkeep the filter! I would go Eheim, even though you have to pay more, it will outlast other filters!

This is what I use with good success: http://cgi.ebay.com/FLUVAL-FX5-AQUA...106350833QQcategoryZ46310QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Never had an eheim, but everyone says they are great.
