Filter question.

[glttr7]

Trying to decide on a cannister or a hand-on back filter for a 22 gallon tank. Wont have a sump/fuge and I like the idea of being able to hide a cannister. But, I have heard that cannisters can add unwanted stuff into you tank. If so, would this be magified in a smaller tank?
Thanks

IMO a canister filter would be much better than a HOB. Just make sure you clean it regularly. Fluval is a good brand to look at.

Ok....cannister sound like a good thing. I was looking at the Fluval and the Eheims. Not sure which...leaning towards Fluval.
Thanks

Remember you can get hob filters with wet/dry filtration
