ok i have 4 rainbow cichlids in a 55 gallon and a on the back filter on one end of my tank and was going back and forth about if i should get another on the back filter or a undergravel filter that would cover both ends...what i want to know is what do you think about these kinds of filters..thanks
 
What about canister filters???? Those are the best in my opinion. Stay away from UGF they are a pain and can produce hudge amounts of Nitrates.
 
what is the smallest size tank you can have to use a canister...i dont even know what those look like..i have heard of them but never seen them
 
I'd vote for canister as well.

Also, a bio-wheel is not so much a type of filter, as it is a feature on some filters. There are HOB, canister, and even trickle filters (like the Tidepool) that all incorporate a Bio-wheel.

Canadian prices..you can do alot better in the states, I was just usinig this page to show you what they are.............. :D
 
I would also like to vote for cannisters, I like how you can for the most part you can hide them. Also they allow you to put the tank closer to a wall, than with HOBs(my second choice). Just my opinion.
