ewwww Eheim 2217... at least get one with trays, I hate no tray canisters mainly because it is a pain to separate the media for cleaning...

2 xp3 canisters would be your best bet good cheap filters.... I would stick with 2 canisters and skip the HOBs......

I think you will get almost as many different answers as replies to your question. Filtration is a matter of personal preference as long as you have enough of it. Caniters, W/D's, HOB's, sponges even it's al a matter of preference.

Well, the media shouldn't be rinsed very often, and dechlorinated water is better anyway. The flosses can be rinsed often, but they are easy to seperate. The classic line are able to filter amazing amounts compared to many other canisters. Also, they have no bypass.
