Keep HOB Dual filter or go to canister filter?

[Salty-Sailor]

Trying to decide between keeping my HOB filtration system or switching to a canister filter like the fluval G3 or the fluval FX4???

any suggestions? not sure if i even need more filtration or if i will really see a huge difference after spending the money.

going in a 55gallon Non drilled tank reef tank (hints HOB)

IMO, stay hob. You likely have much better gas exchange and flow AND PH. The can does have better mech filtration but.....

I prefer HOB if you have easy access to it, otherwise canister

Stay with the hob, easier maintenance and you can run the same in a hob as you can with a canister.

No difference,
The quality of water will depend on maintenance schedule.
