I have one in my 30 gallon mudskipper tank. Its good for a tank where the water level is too low for most other filters and where there isn't a huge volume. For a tank as small as a 20g, it would work but of course a canister would be better.

The fluval Plus models are a joke in filtration compared to their canister models.

As for the marineland, I only have experience with the magnums, and They are the lowest end canister I have used.

Wow, I'm ashamed of myself. Manage a Fish Store and never seen one of these even in ads till now. I have to agree that the description sounds great. Being a new product though, Nobody will be able to give you a good or bad review yet. At that price, I would give it a chance if I could use one.

I want to try this one instead since the other canister (Marineland) has ended.

There is no doubt that is a good filter.
