Canister or No canister?

[jwhiteuwc]

So, I was thinking of upgrading to a Fluval 405, but I've read and read things that are good about canister filters and things that are bad.
So this is an easy question, do I canister or don't I?
Currenlty have a generic hang on the back filter that came with the tanks. Nothing fancy, something you pick up from your local retail store.
Thanks!

What size tank is this filter for, and what are you planning on keeping?

I have an Eheim 2217 for sale or trade for a protein skimmer able to handle a 75g. This filter crushes that fluval I had one. Look it up-its probably one of the best canister filters you can get. Its flow 264gh. Email if your interested www.esellen99@yahoo.com

Oh- and a bio wheel emperor 400 also a reliable filter. Also willing to trade for some equipment.

55gallon current setup is Fish with Mushrooms, polyps, etc.. nothing to hard to keep.

Just saying Eheim is better then a fluval for sure.
