God, how ever will you decide??? Nice colors... It's not that I wouldn't want to pick from them but I'd be agonizing about what to leave behind!

on the other hand, you could try the eheim compact+ 3000 model. I've never used them so I'm not sure if they're up to the same standard as the older eheims but if they are, they're an awesome value.
