    im thinking of going the canister route . ATM im running 2 HOB filters in 90L tank and i dont feel its really doing justice. One is a millenium 3000 or 6000 cant remember exactly and one is an aquaclear 150. What would be an ideal canister size and filter setup?

    I think your filtration is adequate for your tank. What's your reasoning for wanting to switch to cannister?

    I run 1 X Aquaclear 300 (HOB) on a 1.2m 240l tank without any problems...that's the only filter I run on the tank.

    Cheers

    As long as you are doing water changes your existing Filters are fine. If you want the HOB's out of the way then canister is the way to go.

    because of the dense java fern, the floor of the tank hardly gets rotation
