Filtration addition

Hey guys, i currently have a sump and a rena xp XL on my 180, however i am looking to upgrade my canister filter.
any thoughts? I do have a sump with bio balls and ceramic rings for bio filt. Soo i was thinking going with the fx6 for mechanical but figured id ask the community here.
Was really deciding between the larger capacity eheims 2280 2262 2260 the pro3 etc.
what do you guys think?

I'd keep the Rena, and the sump, add an AC110 for mechanical. Will probably be enough to get the job done, and its a hell of a lot easier to clean out than a canister for mechanical. In fact that's what I did on my 150.

You know, it really depends on your stock. Are you experiencing any problems with nitrites or ammonia, or do you have floaties in your tank that make the water turbid?

Cannot go wrong with an Eheim Classic, I run 2262s on my tank. But then, you may not have to invest that kind of $$$ if you don't truly need it
