My pond is low 70's high 60's so I'm staring a 55 gal for my two small cats. I have an eheim 2075 canister on my other tank that's been good to me and I was gunna get another but I'm open to suggestions
Making winter RTC tank need advice on a new filter

I know it seems silly since this is a winter tank and all, but maybe consider what you'll do with them next year and the year after and build off that instead. should be fine in a 55 to overwinter, especially in TX as imagine your real cold months aren't to long, but next year they wont fit that 55 haha.
as for filtration, maybe consider a HOB filter like an AC110 to help with mech, rtc's are messy as I'm sure you know haha
ps I dig that inground pool you made, they will love that thing for life.

By next winter I should be able to devise a plan to heat the pond lol even if I can keep it at 75 degrees all winter ill be happy.. Once the RTC's go back out I will use this tank for my Smaller fish before they go into the pond
It's already cycling with a 55g filter so I'm just lookin for one big canister the 2075 handles a 160 gal tank but I was wondering if there is a different brand I should try out or something

yup, great filters, and for your application more than enough power. just watch jamming them full of pads or anything mech. filtration-related, they can jam up fairly fast. a polishing pad and maybe one tray with filter floss and youre set.
....for a filter? I mean I own an odoe as so far hes done NOTHING to clean my tanks hahahaafrican pike
