No sure if anyone can help me with this but I have an Eheim 2231. Am
trying to keep my plants as healthy as possible and am wondering if
one model up is better.

2231 up to 35 gallons 127g/h
2233 up to 60 gallons 145

Any thoughts?

I *always* overfilter, at least by one 'level'. The canisters have
good flow controls, so if the output is too strong, taking it down a
bit is easy. This also makes it easy to add fish without concern of
the filter not being able to handle it.
