I would use cannister, but never did since Magnum 350..

cleaning canisters are a b!Tch....idk how u guys handle it but everytime i open it it fkn overloads with water n leaks all over the filter...(KINDA HASSLE/ANNOYING)


the Rena XP3's don't have this problem because they have a lever that shuts valves on both hoses, isolating the canister itself.

no mess, no fuss. they are very easy to service.

I think 2 XP3's would be fine.
 
Howdy,

With that much $$$ in fish, why not invest in a good Eheim canister? A 2250 or 2260 won't let you down, and you won't have to worry about filtration for the next decade and longer...

I have gotten great results out of my XPs. They keep on churning. (Except for when you run sand through them. Oops!)

How on earth do you run sand through and XP3? where you running with no media at all, even then with the design of the filter seems it would be hard to get sand to the impellar.
 
On my 125 I am running two ac110s, a xp3, and a wet dry filtration unit. Like someone said you can never have enough filtration, and this way if one or two filters break simutaneously (freak occurance for sure) you can get by without it until your able to replace it.
 
The local fish stores here dont carry the eheim all they carry is fluval or renas if i go to permsmart or petco all they had were canisters for 100 on eheims so i went and got two xp3s instead Im looking into the power of eheim and see what the hype is about money is not the problem for me its more of availability. i hate to wait for anything so i just got it because that was what was available a month after i got them i saw xp4s available kinda mad now =[
