canister filters are great. theyre better for freshwater than saltwater anyway. it depends on the size though. and the brand.
4 gallon Finnex pico aquarium- Iwagumi tank with orange eye black tiger shrimp.10 gallon- Planted Asian biotope with CPD's, sparkling gouramis, and a breeding pair of Betta albimarginata. <link to pics of my tanks- http://board.fishchannel.com/Topic225475-16-1.aspx>

| You will love a can filter I have one in my 55 freshwater tank...it cycles 265 gallons per hour...that a flow thru of fresh water 5 times per hour, it's not a very expensive unit, it is 3 stage, I bought 2 of them on ebay, had em in a week...and get extra parts for the readily. I love em, super quiet, easy to change media, and has 3 separate baskets for whatever type media you wish to use.
