Ebay Canister filters.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Lots of people seem happy with them. IME you get what you pay for.
 
Yes I had a used 303 or 304 the leaked. I would suggest a Rena XP3 or an eheim 2215/2217
 
i just got a sunsun about a week ago and its running great and quiet but the flow rate is a little low and nothing near my fluval 405. you wont get hardly any cans besides a sunsun for 50 bucks.
 
I've also got a fluval 405 and a sunsun 304 on my tank. While the fluval is by far a superior filter it's also over 4x as expensive. For the money the sunsun is a good filter though, it's built very solid and is absolutely silent though the gph could be higher. I bought my sunsun from KoolGoods, and I know many other people have bought from them too with good experiences.
 
Im trying to stay around 50 bucks. I dont think I will be able to get a xp3 or eheim for that price.

I bought all of my filters used. Two eheim 2217 for $50 each and one 2215 for $40 so you can do it lol. But I must say $50 for xp3 is not easy as I wouldn't sell mine (also bought used) for that price! :)
 
Ok thanks, do you think the 211 gph would be ok for a 55 gallon.

It depends on your stock load... If you're on budget, I'd just get what you could and start easy on the stock. Then gradually up the load...
