want to add another canister but what one?

[Dial92]

i have a 240 that has an fx5 and a aqua top canister for a 200 gallon tank i want to add another one that is strictly mechanical. i want this because the fx5 is not a mechanical canister what so ever. i want to keep it under $200 and i want as much flow as possible. i saw one on her that was way tall at had a flow of around 1500 GPH but can think of the name. so tell me your opinion on the best mechanical canister.

Imo magnum 350 are unbeatable mech filters.

Dial you can buy smaller ppi sponges for your fx5 and that will make it better as far as mechanical filtration goes. Or a eheim 2262 is awesome.

if your set on another filter you might try a big HOB for mech. filtration (an ac110 with 2 sponges would probably work well)if you are set on a can most any with hi gph set up properly will do(cascade 1500 might work well)... GOOD LUCK...
