geoff speaks the truth i was going to say the same thing...also the eheim pro models are good and easy to clean..but rena for setup and cleaning is the easiest for me...i ran a xp2 on a 20 gallon and it worked well...right now i have it setup on a 55gallon with a eheim 2028 and they do great..fx5 are good and not to hard to clean and they are self priming but $220 for a 30 gallon setup might be more than you want to spend and they inlet and outlet tubes would look really ugly on such a small tank when putting a canister filter on a small tank you really need to look at hoses and lines and how they will look.anyway i hope this helps..

I love Rena and Eheim. The only Fluval I would ever buy (again) is the FX5. I prefer the FX5 over the 2260Scarecrow : I haven't got a brain... only straw.

Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

Eheim without a doubt. I have used them exclusively after discovering them back in the eighties. The only issue I have ever had was a loss of output with the classic cannister but that was before I learned to properly clean the impeller. Just picked up a Pro III 2080 today, I am amazed at how silent it operates while filtering such a large volume of water. I can also attest to the silence of their Wet/Dry models. Silence and Wet/Dry are seldom synonomous, but the 2227 is absolutely silent.120g - Tropheus Moorii Kambwimba
