For Hang-backs. It is Aquaclear, Fluval C seris, and Marineland. The reason why because they have a good ratio of median and flow. I personally Aqueons are not my taste for filters. But can easily mod a filter and replace your carbon instead. Using Tetra plastic and use a bag. Their internal pump is nice thing I like their currently Aqueon design though.

 

Canister- It is usually ether Fluval or Eheim. Fluval for balance of price and performance ratio and Eheim for higher quality. Everything else pretty much just too risky.

I have an FX5 which is a beast on my 220.... I never clean it...

 

My 75s just have a whisper hang on backs...just stuck with them, never had the need to try anything new....

 

Your best filter is a water change.

I have the Tetra Whisper PF 10 and love it, it seems to filter out the water really well and is easy to maintain.

I had the waterfall style filters for a long time. They broke down regularly, and left calcium stains on the my tank. I now rock the Fluval canister style filter. It is silent, reliable, and gosh darn it! I like it!

Fluval Filters are indeed the best no matter the series. I started my 55 gallon with two Fluval C4 filters and they are doing a great job keep the water clear and clean.

dude it doesnt matter how much water it puts out what really  matters is the amount of media surface area water is touching
