I am new to the site. (Introduction Thread) anywho..
I have a 90g sitting in my basement, and I was thinking of doing a planted aquarium with it. I've been looking at planted aquariums all over the net and was surprised to see the use of canister filters. Having only been in the saltwater aquariums for 20+ years, we used sumps, and such.
ANYWAYS! lol
So it seems Eheim filters are the filter of choice pf some outstanding planted tanks. But with everything in the world, sometimes your paying a premium cause of the name and popularity, more then the quality.
So since this will be my first freshwater and planted aquarium, I wondered if the lower cost canister filters could work as well?
I found this filter that looks good, and even comes with a UV. Aquatop CF400-UV or the CF500-UV. Or should I just save up and go with a Eheim Classic 2217, etc?
Filters, filters, filters.... so many for a newbie to choose.
Once again this would be for a 90g (Marineland Standard Dimensions)
Sorry for the rambling!
