Gday all,

Im in the process of deciding on a filter. Its a 4ft, 210 lt tank.

Im tossing up between these:

Which one, or if not any what other Eheim? I also had my eye on the Fluval FX5?

Four times the volume of water per hour is a good rule to go by, so something that does 840 litres an hour. If you have the cash, might as well get 1000LPH - they have pretty cheap ones on ebay. Apart from that, it's really just your choice :)

Edit: The ones on ebay are about $70 dollars if I remember right

I think so. Depends on your stocking levels, but yes, I think so.
