I've been looking for a small external canister filter for my 70 litre tropical tank, to back up my internal interpet PF2 power filter. I will be slightly overstocking my tank so will need one suitable for sizes 60-150 litres.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a small, affordable canister filter that could fulfil these needs?

Thanks in advance

Hello!

I have had a lot of success with a small external filter called TOMS Rapid Mini. I believe this could work for your application.

One suggestion is to get your own media for it as their media that comes stock is a little subpar.

I currently have 3 of them, each one on a separate 20g long Apistogramma tank. The flow they put out is a bit strong so that is another watch out. I got around it by facing the output to the tank wall to disperse the energy.
