I am shopping for a new canister filter and came across one from "best choice products" I found them at amazon.com and ebay. They say they are a new brand. Can't find much info on them, but I am thinking about giving them a try on my 56 gal column tank. Anybody ever tried or heard of them?

They look like Eheim Pro ll "knock - offs" . They are probably Jebo / Odyssey filters packaged under a different name . These filters are made of cheap plastic and are very easily broken . I would never buy a filter that is sold and advertised with a "leak tray" . I would suggest that you steer clear of imitations........it may look like an Eheim.......but it won't have the same quality or durability of the legendary Eheim . I understand that it's a little cheaper than the Eheim but remember.......YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR !!!!! Trust me.........save your money and pay the extra $40.00 bucks and get yourself a filter that has proven itself in this hobby . Personally , I would stick with any of the big three.... Eheim...Rena....Fluval . -

You guys are your Eheims...lets all jump on the band wagon and put a ridiculously expensive filter on our overpriced Tropheus tanks...lol.
Eheims are decent filters but they are big and bulky and...GREEN. They stick out like a sore thumb in every tank I've ever seen. They are a b!tch to clean and super heavy. I'm a big dude and it's heavy for me.
For my money I go with the Fluval FX-5. It's an AWESOME filter for so many reasons.
On a small tank, I would choose the Rena XP3If it ain't wild caught
