Filters - Which One To Go For?!

[Moochela]

Hello

I have two filters, a Juwel one and a Interpret one, both fit a Rio 180 tank. Which filter is the best? Are they both as good as each other? I went to a shop and was quite confused by the selection and now have 2 filters!! Which one should I keep and why?! Thanks

Hi, what is the flow rate of each filter and does one hold more media than the other?
I'm not familiar with the interpet filters but i'd go with the one with the highest flowrate.

Hi,
I'm not a filter expert but would think that part of what you need to decide is what species of fish you plan to put in your tank. Some are okay with heavier flow rates. For my Bettas I have to put media around the intake and out take valves to slow the water to prevent a current.
