Recommendation for external canister'

[cjack]

I have a 1.5ft tank and have a overhead JEBO filter. However, it makes a lot of noise. Also, I have been told there are some good external ones (not overhead types) which does the same job with much less noise and maintain higher water quality. Is there any in the market that you gus can recommend? Budget is ariund $70 or less.

i think u are looking for external filter.. there is only 1 reliable and quiet one... Ehiem for 1.5 ft, model 2213 should be ok. Petmart selling the cheapest.

You are right...I am looking for an external filter.

Any idea how much this costs? What is the general opinion on the "Dolphin" brand?

why not get an Ehiem.. would u settle for a Proton or a BMW??

I'm going to edit your title... it's not what you're talking about.

From 'Recommendation for external pump' to 'Recommendation for external canister'

I've a Jebao 3018 external canister... no noise.. cost $75. 1200hr/l 1.5 ft can get smaller one maybe. cheaper a bit also.

for ur budget, get the ehiem 2213. it's more trustworthy.....

Can get the eheim 2222.. hehe.. If anyone wanna buy mine? ..Bought few days. The most only $50 extra from that 2213 model. Realised I needed the priming one instead....

[Dazza]

yes stick with eheim.... i hv tried a few others brands n all can't match up in terms of quality or noise.

yah.. but I recommend the 2222 because it has the trays for easy putting and removing of medias. And also I'm intending off selling second hand.. negotiable price..

[lightningstrike]
