    Ehiem Classic 2215 is sufficient. Reliable and cheap.

    Not enough. for 4ft tank, at least a 2080 or the best is 2x2078 which I'm using now. Good flow is required for good circulation of nutrients and filtration.

    Hi bro thanks for your 2080!
    2080 is indeed very good for 4ft also bear in mind that flow rate will decrease when connected to chiller.
    I reckon you can start with 2x2028.

    Get a big one. Over time, the flow rate will be halved definitely. At least the specification must be 1700 L/H

    No problem. Hope the 2080 is working fine so far for you!
