HI Just looking for opinions on the "best" power filter for a planted tank. Just gathering equipment to set one up for the first time in many years.

Just gathering equipment to set one up for the first time in many years. Thanks, Tom Look at canister filters, they're widely accepted as being the best choice for planted tanks. Preferably one with adjustable flow rate. Eheim filters are widely accepted as the leader in canister filters. I've had one running for 4 months and haven't touched it since I plugged it in. Admittedly, there is a very low fish load, so not much gorp to plug it up. I absolutely love it. It's compact, powerful, and damn near silent. Can't hear it unless I press my ear up against the cover. Avoid trickle filters, and other filters that splash the water around, as the additional water/air contact will rob your water of the CO2 that your plants crave. hth billy |
