    Hi all.
    I am looking at upgrading to a canister filter.
    Can anyone suggest a decent quality filter that can do around 400L-500L per hour?
    TIA

    Hi Darryn,
    I can highly recommend the Tetra Tec EX range as an affordable, reliable canister. I have the EX 2400, which is the big one (Pumps 2400L/Hr You can either go for the EX700 or the EX1200, They pump 700 or 1200 litres per hour respectively. It depends on your tank sise. I prefer to over filter and then regulate the flow with the outlet tap on the canister. I love large filter media space!

    Slightly cheaper is the Dolphin range, I've also got the Dolphin C1600. Which pumps 1100L/Hr, You might look at the C700 (700L/Hr)or the C500 (500L/Hr). Nice, compact, user friendly.
