After becoming completely frustrated with the Penguin 150 (wheel won't spin, water is cloudy, etc.) that came with my tank, I decided to buy a new filter for my 28 gallon bowfront. I figured this would be a perfect time to try a canister filter! My goal is to moderately plant the tank and get either Celebes, Threadfin Rainbows, or Spotted Blue Eyes. But thats a discussion for another time! :lipssealedsmilie:
I'm hoping to get some opinions on which filter is suitable for beginners so I'm not wrangling with tubing for hours (although I can always call in for backup!). I am leaning towards the Filstar XP2, but these are the filters I picked out from previous discussions here.
Eheim Classic 2215
Marineland Magnum C-220
Rena Filstar XP2 or XP3
And of course I am open for suggestions. Thanks!
