Fluval 107
#3 in Up to 75 galFull review
A small, quiet canister for 10 to 30 gallon tanks. The 207 costs about the same and holds more media, so the 107 makes most sense where cabinet space is tight.

#7 in Up to 75 galFull review
A cheap, long-lived basic canister for tanks up to 40 gallons, best where light flow and a low price matter more than media space.
