Looking for canister filter for my 60 gallon hexagon tank

Trying to figure out what size and brand of canister filter for my 60 gallon hexagon tank
Can't use sump in this situation
If anyone has a filter for sale or opinions on size and brand please post

Most people will tell you to look at another form of filtration here, so I am not sure if you will get the best response. Oase I know is pretty strong in freshwater and I like the idea of having the heater built in. Fluval FX is standard and can't go wrong. I would definitely get one which lets you quick disconnect the hoses from the cannister and having some prefilters that are easily removed makes maintenance much easier.

edit: I thought I could keep up with cannister maintenance when I did my first build. Sumps are much easier to deal with and I wish i just did that from the outright, but I know thats not everyone's situation

Yea I would like to have a sump too but I just recently moved to Ohio from Louisiana a d live in apt. now so no room for sump had to leave my 180 and 320 in Louisiana until I get a permanent home

I've got both a fluval fx4 and fx6. Both do the job.

I can clean the fx4 and have it back running in ten minutes. Do that once a week and you're golden.

Eheim Classic 2217 20 years running without issues. GREAT media space.

I kept a softie tank for w0 years. Had no nitrates nor ammonia. Always used Eheim with their bio balls. Very reliable. German quality maybe.
