I'm planning on completely redoing my 15 gallon tank next month. I'm currently using an aquaclear hob but an considering an upgrade to a canister. Looking for recommendations. I have eheim pros running on my 90 andnlike them. Haven't been a fan of the eheim classics cause I find maintenance a pain. I'm intrigued by the Zoo med nano and have been reading About the hydor professional line.
Thanks
Jeff
I'm partial to Eheim, I have used the eco 2236 on a 15 gallon that also drove my co2 reactor .
I also have the same set up@on my 17 gln tank, works fantastic.

Seachem has gotten into the hob filter business. They are called tidal and are made by sicce . My belief is they will be the new standard in hob filter. As for canisters my vote is ehiem classic as well. I can remove clean and replace them in about 20 m8nutes. What was the issue you had?
The thing I didn't like with the classic was cleaning. I run two eheim pros on my 90 and I guess I got spoiled by having the trays to make cleaning easier.
Ok. But how do trays make it easier? Don't you still have to remove them take out the media and rinse or replace. I used to use the different media that ehiem sells. Now I just stack 4 blue pads they sell followed by a bag of bio. Rinse all in aquarium water. Fill cannister connect and run.

I run all my tanks with Eheim pros i am a big fan of the product and have bin for year and never and i mean never had a problem with them. They make a solid canister filter.
