What filter for 20gallon high

[sushiray]

sponge filter for now, if u evolve to fish then ac 50 or 70, I run AC70 on my 20g angel tank, does great job crystal clear with media.

i'm hijacking this thread....... Is there a good canister filter for a 20? I have my water level low so those HOBs make too much noise.

for a 20 high? isn't that overkill for a shrimp tank. that thing will blow everything around.

No it wouldn't be, it would be perfect like I stated. You can aim the spray bar any way you like and if it's still too much for ya you can always close the output lever just a bit...

fluval 205/305 would be a nice canister.

That is a great deal but that is a lot of filter for a small shrimp tank. The outlet would need to be covered with sponge or floss to prevent sucking in shrimp.
I like the eheim 2213 canister,again with sponge over the intake, or save money and get a sponge filter.
