    I still prefer Eheims out of all other manufacturers. I would still use the Ecco 2232 for ease of maintenance over the 2211. JMHO.

    I have XP1's on both my 22Gallon long tanks and they do a great job, I also have eheim filters ecco 2232,2234, 2- 2236 as well as a Pro 3 2075 IMO probably the best filter out there by far.

    The Eheim would be the quietest for sure. And the 2211 would be more than enough for the Flora.
