shamedic Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Some of you may know I'm going to be setting up about 4-8 4og breeders this year. I was looking at Eheim canister filters for each tank what would be the best size and why. I have been reading up on them and people say they have bad reduced flow. I don't want it to blow them all over the tank. Please tell me what you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveLee Aquatics Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 If you have that many canisters to buy, i'd go cheaper and get the SunSun 302s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamedic Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 I had a sunsun along time ago was not a fan at all it didnt last as long as I was hoping for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy6107 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 the sun sun's are hit and miss from others reviews, but I have had 2 of them for 2+ years. I had the eheim 2217 on a 55 gallon and it was a great filter. My only issue was the maintenance. I always had the hardest time getting the lid off without breaking it.

DETAquarium Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 I currently use all Eheim 2213 canister filters on my 17g aquariums. I would suggest looking at the 2217 for cost, but if price is not an issue many of the "Pro" series would probably fit the bill as well.
