for that size of tank..canister is the way to go.

 

HOB i would use for smaller tank under 20gallon. Anything bigger I anint running two filter when a canister can do as much and more for the cost of two HOB combine.

 

i have a cousine who run two penguine on his 75g...until i say dude ..what a waste..

 

get a canister filter for that large size tank...months later they switch and he loves it.

for the size of tank I would go for a fluval 405 canister

canisters are better in so meny ways less mess hanging on your tank more media can be used less noise less electricity compared to 2 hang on the backs

I have a 305 on my 240L 55 gallon and it's great
