Default Need advice on Eheim classic 150

Intend to use this for my 2ft tank which hold less than 50 litres. Is this suitable? Any filter to recommend? Intend to improve my water filtration.

Please help. Thanks in advance.

It will mainly depends on what you intend to keep, over filtration is always under as you don't know when are you going to stop adding live stock in.

then my advice go for the 2215 or 2217 at least,
at least when if u using 2-3ft tanks... u no need to upgrade.
and u can use a control valve ur buy eheim quick release valves to regulate if too strong.

and it is more easy to get a sec hand on market. and they are pretty reliable.
i used a 2215 for my 2 ft. and 2217 for my 50L before. as long as motor is good. no leakage. no issue.

2211 i find it pretty small unless u keeping those small kind like tetra or shrimps.

2217 got basket for media easy for maintance. and wash.
