Ok, I have determined that I want a canister filter but am not picky about brand as long as its decent quality. I cant spend more than $80 right now.
Any suggestions eheim, fluval, anything, I just cant make up my mind.
I'm not sure what I am going to put in my tank but can't I set up a standard, good system first before making that decision?
I know I will have a few plants, and some Gouramis and not sure what else...but thats what I know of so far.
Any help is appreciated.

I am not sure which of these is the right for me. I have a 26 or 29 gallon bow front, not sure which, but I want something that will do its job with no hesitation, that is why I am looking at one to do a 60 gallon tank. Maybe they are too powerful...but thats not the issue.
I want to know which is better - it looks like the only difference is one comes with tubes and shut off valves - if thats so, why is it only 4 dollars difference?
