I see a lot of threads on here about the best filter to own and mostly, people will say Eheim, although a lot of people like Tetratec and Fluval and they seem more affordable.
I've owned both Tetratec and Fluval and of the 2, found Tetratec a leaking disaster area, I do not like the way the pipes connect to the taps at all, the nuts are not secure and seems the tighter you do them up the more likely it is the pipes will pop off. With the Fluval, I love the hosing/taps but I do not like the prime function, it's very awkward to use if it's not working perfectly, it's not very ergonomic at all.
I am getting a new tank and looking into having an Eheim and came across this site information

It tells you which filter is best for your tank. Hope you find it useful.
