i've decided to replace a hob filter in my planted tank in hopes of improving water quality. i don't think the hob filter is doing a great job. i will be going with a canister filter in hopes of adding a diy co2 diffuser/reactor (i found some great designs) in either the intake or outflow tubes. i'm on a limited budget, so i've been looking at the fluval x04 series of filters and the xp filstar series. personally, i'd love to get one of the eheim pro series filters, but it's way too rich for my blood. i'd like to know your tho'ts of the efficiency of these filters.
your input is highly valued. TIA.
