Gaa, made a longer post, but the computer ate it. =(

The quick version is that I like this Zoo Med Turtle 501. About $50 at Petsmart, if you go looking it's in the reptile stuff, not the fish stuff. Got one on my 10 ga now. (75 gph?)

Also, you could get the smallest Cascade canister, but it my 20 ga it was starting to blow my more sedate fish around. (120 gph?)

I have no complaints about the quality of either unit, tho the zoo-med is much smaller. Go with a canister filter if you can.
