| I have yet to start my own, however, I have been researching this too. So far, the most respectable name I have found is Eheim. It is one of the best, although not the only one. I have heard mixed reviews on fluval so I myself am trying to stay away from that brand altogether. There are a couple of others I have read that are still good and not as expensive, but, usually only by like ten to thirty dollars. I don't know about you, but, I rather have that little extra sence of comfort for just a little extra money, even if I have to wait an extra month to save up for it. |
