Here are my tips for selecting the best aquarium filter for your tank and fish! When it comes to selecting an the right aquarium filter there is no "one choice fits all."
I often get asked, "I'm about to set up my 60 gallon. Which filter do you recommend?" and "I'm considering a hang-on-back filter or perhaps a canister, which one do you recommend, which is best?"
Over the years I've learned that there are MANY factors to consider when selecting an aquarium filter. Your type of fish, your tank size, your anticipated feeding and maintenance schedule are just a few of the things that must be considered when selecting the best filter to suit YOUR needs.
In this video I discuss this "fluid situation" and what to consider when selecting the best filter for YOUR TANK and YOUR FISH. Here are my best tips to help you make the right choice.

2) Another way is to visit my Amazon store. I list products there that I've used over the years and if you get something from my store (or from anywhere on Amazon after using my link to get there) my channel gets a small percentage. It doesn't increase your cost one cent, so it's a real win-win and a great way to support the channel. You can access my Amazon store here: www.amazon.com/shop/benochart
If you can't do any of these I want you to know that you're still VERY APPRECIATED and that by just being here and watching my videos you are supporting the channel. Thank you!
