I dislike either of those cannisters and use a jebo odyssea cannister. Between those 2 I'd go with eheim. Fluvals don't have as good of water flow path and get some water bypassing the media as well as I've heard of more parts breaking on fluvals than eheims.

One breaks and the tank is not dead! I chose the Eheim Thermofilter over a similar Fluval due to reputation and the integrated heater with digital readout. __________ "To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." researched from Steven Wright

Go to WWW.eheim.com/ and have a look at their full range with all the details about each filter. I have the Eheim Pro 11 best filter I have ever bought in 35+ years Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do. I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT? VOTE NOW VOTE NOW

If you have a sump I'd also check out my "DIY Filter Sock" page. I prefer filter socks but canister filters (especially the one I show) works excellent!
