Filtration and plants for my tank

[draX]

Hi guys

I have a 100 litre tank, I think thats about 25g or so. I've got two dwarf gourami's, a red wagtail platy, a guppy, a siamese algae eater and a clown loach. I want to add more pairs of fish ie another platy and another loach. I also want to add more plants (I mostly have floating plants)...at the moment I am using an UGF, but I definitely want to change that. I was looking at a Penguin 170, a Fluval 104, or an Aquaclear 200. I have had no experience with any of these, can you maybe recommend one or tell me if I should avoid any?

I use an Aquaclear 150 it has an adjustable intake, which is cool, plus the you can customize the filter media.
Only other HOB filter I have experience with is a Whisper that came with my tank, and I definitely would NOT recommend one.

I've had only 2 problems with my aquaclear: 1--pest snails and duckweed always get in the filter, 2--occasionally I have trouble getting the motor to re-start after I clean the filter, then I have to take the filter back apart and clean the fan thing. So basically I just need to get around to putting a sponge or something over the intake.

I have had fluvals for a few years and love them
