What canister?

[demjor19]

I am looking to add a big canister to my 180. What canister do you guys recommend? I want one that is easy to use/maintain, is durable, and has a LOT of room for media. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

If your looking for something smaller I would just go with a ehiem

f x 5.

It's looking like the FX 5 is the way to go...Bigger is better. Are they hard to maintain/clean?

Where is the best priced place to get them?

I have one and I love how easy it is to clean, The cheapest place to get them is probably Dr. Foster and Smith, No matter where you look they are going to run you around $300 new.

No. New, $200 with free shipping on ebay.

I strongly prefer the big Eheims (2080, 2260, 2262) over the FX5....... Really, though, you can't go wrong with any of those.

The Eheim 2262 sounds nice...900gph!!! Does this filter have much room for bio-filtration? Are they easy to maintain?

I like my Rena XP1, XP2, and XP3.

I can not speak for the others though.
