I will be getting my first fish tank today and I would like to know what type of filter would work best its about 20 gallons (88 litres to be exact)

dimensions: length 60cm * width 39cm * height 38 cm

It depends on what you are looking for and what you can afford... obviously canister filters would be the best, but they are usually pricey. A good hang on would be the AquaClear 50 for your 20 gallon tank, they have excellent media choices and available room =)

i have 3 tanks...2 have aqua clear filters and i really prefer it to filters with all-in-one cartridges. by not changing all media at once you maintain a better bio filter. good luck...remember not to stock too many fish at once! i learned the hard way...a lot of work but no fish died. but i'm sure it was close! live and learn!

I agree AquaClear 50 will do the work for you (250GPH), and juloea has a good point due to its flexibility in handling media.

AquaClear technology might be "old-tech" but its quietness, ease of maintenance, and flexibility makes them my favorite HOB too.
