| I have converted a reef tank with a sump to a frreshwater tank (45 gallon). I am using a biowheel in the sump now. The pump in the sump is somewhat noisy and I really do not need a sump any more I am considering switching to a canister or hangon filter. It has been a decade since I bought something like that. What do you recommend for a brand that is quiet, easy to maintain in an office and will not leak? Thanks in advance!

| If you are looking for a hang on the back filter, I have always liked the Hagen AquaClear filters or the Marineland Penquin filters. Both are easy to set up and easy to maintain. If you are looking at a canister filter there are a few that I would recommend. Any of the Eheim filters are good choices along with the Aquarium Pharm. Rena filters. HTH,

| Canister filter is more efficient and quieterr, but is not that easy to clean in the office setting, I used Fluval for years and they are very good too and a lot cheaper than Eheim, but hang-on filter like the Pengium emperor is much easy to clean and replace filter media, just buy a lot filter cartridges and pop it in and you are done, and the impeller is easy to clean too, but they are a little louder than canister filter
