Wow, you'll need a bigger tank to house all those bad boys.

I like the rena xp3s, but for the money the xp4s aren't worth it. I would go with the fluval FX5 or even the eheim 2262 if you can afford it

Hi. FX5 or Eheim 2262. They seem the same as far as performance goes. I'm going to put one of each on a 210 gallon. I'm expecting to see the same performance running side by side.

1 FX5 IMO

I hope you know what you're getting into... that rtc is going to get huge faster than you might expect, and if/when it does, the other fish aren't going to last long.

Yeah, I agree with the rtc. Eventually you'll have one large fish in your tank....

Id vote sump, but thats just a personal preference. They move tons of water, are pretty easy to build and are very cost effective. If I was going to do a canister Id skip the xp4. I love my xp3's, but the xp4 is no good. Pair of fx5's or 2262's would be good
