Good morning all-
I'm deciding to make the leap and getting a canister filter for my 50 gallon long. I think I've settled on a Fluval but I'm not sure which model to get. I know that "more is better" in general, but I'm looking for something that will be "good" for this size since I know I wont be upgrading to a larger tank (no more room!). Would the Fluval 305 be plenty of filtration for schooling community fish (can't be more specific atm; it's an empty, cycling tank and the wife gets to choose the occupants)?
Also, I've never actually seen a Fluval or any other canister filter in person and it seems pretty intimidating even with how easy everyone makes it seem to clean. Do any of you happen to have old photos of the "guts" of your canister filter, Fluval preferably, so I can ease my fears? Haha
Much thanks!
