The Astro 2212 at Aquotix is a great unit that will suit your 300L I think.

If your tanks 300ltrs then get one rated for a 600ltr.

My tank is 280L, I have an Eheim 2217 which produces 900L of flow an hour. Over filtration is definitely better.

The above link can save you time if you cant make it to any of the sponsors on the day....

I would recommend an Astro 2210 or 2212 or an Eheim 2215 or 2217... Astros are easier to clean and 100% reliable.

I would still recommend picking one up from a sponsor directly so they can demonstrate it to you, and it gives you a chance to pick up extra stuff while you are there....

I have an eheim 2228 and an Astro 2212 running a 6x2x2 and find the Astro is easier to clean and prime. Eheim to prime I have to suck the outlet hose.
