Hi all, I'm planning to setup a 3x1.5x1.5 tank for cherry and crs... Would like to get advises from you all here on which brands/model/flow rate would be better for me.. Been reading lots of review on ehiem but the price is so very high.... Is there any other brands that is reliable and cost saving? Advises is greatly appreciated... Thanks in advance!

Save up and then start your project. Use the time you are saving up for your equipment purchase to read more on your future livestock requirement and such.
If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.

Mohamad Rohaizal is my name. If it's too hard, use BFG. I don't mind.
I fully agree with BFG...
Else you'll end up like me banging the wall after impulse buying(without proper research) and discovering "I should've gotten this, I should've gotten that.." kind of situations. Trust me it's frustrating to say the least.
Good luck on your project!
Can try atman, but not too far from ehiem price (for classic series not higher models)
Some folks like to buy and upgrade later, that also means selling the old one at a loss and ending up paying more in the long run.
If your running on a tight budget
1: save up, buy 1 time.
2: buy used ones, risking defect and warranty.
3: get other brands.
Do some research on a variety of models.
Decide on the budget you can part with, $150+ or below $150.
Do not forget, most models are not packed with media, you'll need to account for that.
If your intending to keep crs. See how many folks use ehiem and you will be surprised. (this is based solely on the crs/bds/bkk keepers I know.

Same advise, save up and go for Ehiem. 2nd hand might work. Ehiem seldom break down and if it does, spare parts are easily available and once it is fix, it will go a long way.
