Eheim canister.
Dolphin top filter single layer only ? can opt for mr aqua ohf.. can add trays for additional filtration.

I will alsi vote for eheim. If is exoensuve but it will last you a long time, thus trouble free. You could do research on the Internet ehich model is suitable, or talk to major LFS to seek advice.

Bro inside this eheim model, are there four layers or five layers? Does it also come with a flow speed control?

Hi, if not wrong should be 3 trays and yes it has a flow control plus a window to see how strong the flow rate is. You may check again on eheim website to confirm. Cheer.
