    Hi All

    What is the right sized canister filter for a 60L and what the turnover rate should be?

    Hi Luke - the Eheim classic 2211 is great for that size tank - turnover rate of 300l is perfect for your tank....

    I agree with @azurekoi on the 2211 being the right size canister but have you considered a Hang On Back filter? Personally I would opt for the HOB, the canister is obviously superior but a good HOB is more than adequate.
