im getting a canister filter soon for my 220 liter tank and was wondering how big should the canister be, and whats a good brand for one that isnt too expensive?

An fx5 should do the job depending on your bioload

220 L or 220 gallons?

if is 220L a Rena XP3 is perfect.

if its a 220g then yes something big like an FX5 or twin Rena XP3's will work also.

220 liters is like what 55 gallons ? if so a rena XP3 would be good

will a rena xp3 be good enough filtration for an oscar?

In my opinion yes, just fill all three media baskets. don't leave empty space.

220 liter is 58 gallon US i think.. according to the conversion table.. An FX-5 would be overkill.. and a waste... you dont need that big.. a simple Rena would be fine.. or a smaller eheim unit..

and i just found out another problem, it might be hard to put the two pipes in my tank because theres edges on all 4 sides in the tank that the lids sit on and the only gap is where one corner is cut off on both back lids
