May I know what is a good brand for HOB filter for a 2 feet tank?
Thank you so much!

Read on forum fluval r noisy & aquaclear not available in stores anymore...
Hello ShAvRyAnOriginally Posted by ShAvRyAn
Assuming you have a standard 2 feet tank which measures roughly 60cm x 30cm x 36cm and has an approximate volume of 60L, two models come to mind.
- Fluval C4 Power Filter (lots of good reviews online)
- Seachem Tidal 55 (just released recently)
This is also assuming that you are shooting for a flow rate of 10x or more of your water volume and they both have the following flow rates respectively.
- 900 litres per hour
- 1000 litres per hour
Please note that my recommendations are based on research and not experience because I've never had any of them but would love to if I had a two feet tank.
Hope that helps.

Thanks Wan.
Hi, I am using totto filter for 2 ft. It's like a hang on canister with many different compartments for media. Flow rate is 360l/hr. Sufficient but could be better.
Or you could try fluval c-series. Good reviews though I have never tried. I've been looking to get one for my other tanks.
If space is not an issue, look for second hand canister. The price of the fluval series is good enough to get a second hand canister.
Wow..the Seachem tidal looks neat and promising , 1.2l of media space.
Not that i need one thou , but when looking at the fluval and other brands have to look at the recurring cost unless one will be prepared to DIY some of the consumables
That's what I thought too, skytan.
It comes with the Seachem Matrix (which need not be replaced) and if you want chemical filtration, throw in a bag of Seachem Purigen (which can be regenerated) and you're good to go!
The other features that caught my eye was the built in surface skimmer and self-cleaning impeller (I wonder how that works).
Sorry for hijacking your thread, ShAvRyAn. Just wish to discuss the possibilities of HOB filters that might interest you.

Yeah it looks promising, but the only gripe i have is it looks pretty big (saw some on utube) but maybe for the capacity its the only trade off.
Blue filter wool is cool can always DIY from LFS , not those cartridge stuff which will chalk up expenditure pretty fast.
Should be getting a c3 first. Seachem might take ages or not launch in sg...

No pressure, ShAvRyAn.
You do what you have to do.
The Fluval C3 Power Filter looks good too. Hope it will do well for your 2ft tank.

I hge bought the c3. so far so good. Quite silent no humming sound. Definitely better than the others.
i hope seachem will be launch in sg soon.
For HOF, it is best to get the biggest one that can be found. That will take some shopping around the big stores, such as Seaview.
Slimline models are definitely a no-no for me. I go for those double-chambered ones with plenty of internal space for biomefia. After purchasing one, I usually discard all the cartridges in it and fill the chamber's with my own choice of media. No fanciful cartridges for me. For me, functionality rules, above everything else.
LIFE IS UNBEARABLE WITHOUT A FISH TANK!!!
Im using fluval c4... swap out the carbon chamber to matrix pond and added seachem purigen just after the mechanical filter. Yes theres a slight rattling noise at first usage especially if you get new ones. After 1 month of use plus a applying vaseline/waterproof lubricant its now very very silent.
C238 sells c4 as a very good deal provided you are able to find it.
