Well, you can't go wrong with Eheim. I have both the 2213 and the 2215 on
29 and 30 gallon tanks. The 2213 will work well. You'll get a turnover
rate of about 3-4x per hour depending on the media used and how dirty it
and the hoses are. A 2215 will give you a turnover rate around 5-6x per
hour and more media capacity. On either filter, you can install a ball
valve on the _output_ hose to adjust flow. If you want to use the filter
as a CO2 reactor, I suggest that you don't use the media basket. Use of
the basket seems to encourage "burping". YMMV.
