RE: canister filter	troi

I second the Fluval for a cheap canister. If you aren't attached to the canister concept, consider AquaClears. I use two AC 300's on my 100 gal "big catfish" tank. The tank is over crowded with three adult feather fin synodontis, one adult and two half grown synodonitis decorus, one 13-14 inch gibiceps (sailfin) plec and four 3-4 inch clown loaches. It all cranks along very well, and has for five years, with a weekly 20-30 water change and the AquaClears. I like them because they are easy to clean, easy to find parts for, cheap to buy, cheap to run and provide a large media box area where you can put any old non-custom media you want in. The AC 500 might be better for the fish you list. Just a thought. troi On Fri, 2 Jul 2004, Michael Laflamme wrote:   My next pick would be a Fluval. They have essentially gone unchanged for over a decade. If you can find an older one from craigs list or from the auction at the SFAS, you won't be dissapointed. I would suggest a Fluval 403 for what you need. If you buy a newer one, I bellieve the number changed to 404.
