Thinking of going to an FX-2 since I’m planning on going to a 75 soon and would like a bigger filter. Currently running a 407 so would the FX-2 be too much even if I reduced the flow?
 
I wouldn't bother buying a cannister. They are recirculating garbage bins that are difficult to thoroughly clean frequently. You'd be better off with a HOB filter or a sump

Unfortunately, space is an issue being as I’m in an apartment, so I couldn’t do a sump. I’ve been running a canister filter now for about as long as I’ve had the tank and it’s been fairly successful. I’ve been thinking of running a HOB as a surface filter.
