Wow...ok. Obviously you do get more filtering capacity because it's stronger. I know that. I'm just getting a 2211 because I don't need that much filtration in a SHRIMP tank. People use sponge filters in shrimp tanks... I understand that your trying to help me and I appreciate it but it's not a no brainer. A 2211 is perfect for meF the 3 watts of electricity. You get way more filtering capacity for the same amount of money, kind of a no brainer in my mind.
