i like fluval 404(got 1 on my 75,90,30)and(2 on my 150)
but those ehiem look serious(never had one)

Me 2 i have 4 404s, some hang ons and a wet dry.
Ive heard some good things about the Xp3. . .
i was looking at the via aqua before .. they say its good
but they just stop working after a couple of months.

Eheim is way better. I have a hand me down Magnum 350, and its gettin the shi* can due to its shi**y performance.

The 350 has the impeller inside the canister itself, so when dirt or grit gets inside the canister, it first has to grind at the impeller until the flow of water removes it, or I get pissed and rip the whole thing apart.
