Which cannister filter to buy?

Thanks a LOT everyone! You have given me a great place to start, now I have to research and compare some of the things you all talked about.

I was all ready leaning toward the Eheim because I had heard so much good stuff about it. There is a lot about the XP3 good as well though.

I think unless I change my mind I'm gonna go with the ehim 2217. Everyone says they are quiet, and that is a big thing for me since the filters gonna be about 3 feet from my head while I sleep. lol

Thanks again!
 
This is a quote from another thread from only about a week ago. Comparing fluval and eheim canister filters. Pretty much sums it up nicely. I will say however that the fx5 is a good filter and is worth it as well. I have 1 running on my 80g tank with no complaints in the last 5 months with it.


HAH, thats from my thread. and for my 2 cents, the eheim is much better than the fluval. Side by side comparison, the eheim 2215 outdoes the fluval 305 in many different ways.
