Need a GOOD filter

Thanks Mg, it would have taken me a while to figure out how to make one without that :D
 
Eheim Classics - if not already, they should be on XMAS sale soon at any of the fine online outlets commonly mentioned here.

I got mine w/ media & free shipping from BigAls on the cheap.

I'd go 1x 2217 or 2x 2215.
 
I have had the same filter for 13 years and have never had any major problems with it(knock on wood!). It's a Magnum 350. I had a slight leak when I needed to replace the rubber o-rings, but other than that, it's run great! I have 2 powerheads running in conjunction with the magnum, and I have 2 small filter baskets attached to the powerheads for extra cleaning.
