Which Canister for 29gal?

[wintermute]

Hi all,

I haven't been in the canister filter market for more than 10 years and was just wondering what's good on the Fluval/Eheim market for a 29gal goldfih tank? Thanks!

Let me rephrase this - how do the Eheim Ecco filters (which I'm not familiar with) compare to the Eheim Classics (which I am familiar with)?

I've not used either, but the Via Aqua and the Rena Filstar are both highly regarded by one company whose business is maintaining aquariums.
Here are some links to some information about them.

I am in the same boat here, Are there any other opinions? Thank you.

Aquarium Canister Filter; Via Aqua 750 filter & 650/750 impeller, valves

Rena Filstar XP1, XP2, & XP4 Aquarium canister filter systems

These filters are cool and looks like they would save on money in the end but would something like this be right for a ten gal tank freshwater with nothing special in it(as of yet)?

I have to choose a filter but one thats good.

I am a BIG fan of the Eheim canisters. They seem to do just what they are supposed to do, and nothing else. (most extra options seem to break down to fast, then you have to replace the whole thing!) Just my opinion. Good luck, lets seem some pics!

I like the fluvals cause they have a higher flow rate and customizable baskets.
