Are Canister Filters Worth the Cost if Your Prime Goal is Quiet

[FishHobby99]

I'm sure a lot of people would disagree with me, but I think that if a tank is above 55 gallons it should have a canister filter. Canister filters are always a better option for a large tank, but if you rally don't want one then 3 or 4 sponge filters would work.

I will probably switch to canister filters if the pair of Fluval AC 110s are inadequate in the 125 G. Not drilled. Couldn’t go with a sump.

According to me, canister or internal, Eheim and Oase are the two best.

I agree

You can run matten filters in tanks as large as 400+ gallons; of course at some point it begs the difference if you run them in the tank itself or a secondary tank that pump water into.
