Ehiem Classic 2213 or 2215 filter for 2ft tank?

[cydaph]

Hi Guys... I need some advice on these 2 filters. My tank 2ftx1ftx1.5ft with some carpet plants only. Maybe I would add some more plants in the future. Just wondering if 2215 is to much for that sized. It's my first time to use canister filter, so maybe you guys can help to decide. I'm planning to buy sometime this month. Thanks

Theres no such thing as over filtration. The more, the better. I run 2 canister filters - Eheim Ecco 2232 and the classic 2213 on my 20G tank.

I just thought that I might create a huge whirlpool inside the tank if the filtration too strong. Thanks for the feed!

take note that if you are adding chiller in future, it will reduce the flow rate.
