I have a 15gal tall that I want to set up as pretty much a plant only tank. I think I will put a few zebra danios and a few cory catfish in there. The tank is mainly for plants though.

I've heard that HOB power filters are not good for planted tanks because of the excess surface agitation. So, my question is, what type of filter would I need?
