WTB: canister filter...

Looking for a canister filter fr a 75g I am setting up soon. Looking for something in the vein of a Eheim 2215/2217, or Fluval 406. Bonus points if it is still seeded.

PM me if you have one you are looking to move!

I would suggest you not to consider Eheim 2215. Although Eheim claims that a 2215 is good for tanks up to 92g, it didn't give me enough flow and filtration for my 60g. I had 5 semi-adult altum, 4 cory and 1 bristlenose in that 60g which was not a heavy bioload. In the end, I replaced it with a 2217.

yeah... knew that Eheims posted unrealistic specs in that respect, but was casting a wide net hoping to get a bite. sounds like it may ust not be worth it to do the 2215 though.. thanks for the advice.

Dana has/had 2 Ehiem pro listed in another thread for about 50 bucks a pop I believe and both are seeded if I remember what he said correctly.
