Puck -07 – I a word, canister filters are better than hang on and internal. They are bette,r in the sense, that they are easier to clean, quieter and in general pumps more water. They are a little more expensive but are worth it. All this may be a moot point.

Definitely worth it. Get good equipment - it is soooo much easier to maintain and lasts longer and does the job it's supposed to do.
