Yeah New Tank! Now Filter Question

[karin]

Hi All. Finally got a new bigger tank. I got a 60 gallon at Petsmart. Very excited.

So my question. I'm thinking about going with the Eheim Classic external canister filter. Kinda hard to pick between the Rena, Fluvial and the Eheim but they seem reasonably priced and my other Eheim products have been great. Sooo

Do I go with the 2213 rated for up to 65 gallon? Or the 2215 rated for up to 92 gallons? I'm planning to design this tank stocking around a school of congo tetras which I understand are sensitive to water conditions. Does it make sense then to go with the 2215?

I want to order it later today (got to start the cycling!!!) So bring on your thoughts and opinions.

I'd go for the one rated for 92 gallons. You could add more fish in the tank with a better filter.

i have a 64litre tank with a filter that is rated up to 93litre and i have another filter in the tank rated 10-60 the idea of this was to cycle the tank quicker but i havent remove the small one as i have had no need
