good canister filter for 100 gal

[icherno7]

i was thinking of getting a xp3 but would it be enough?
if not any other filters you can suggest

I would suggest a fluval fx5 personally, granted it is rated at more than 100 gallons , but I would rather over filtrate than to not have enough.

thats a little too pricey for me

I have a rena xp3 for my 100 gal. Its alright, not that great. It says its enough for a 185 gallon. But to me it seems as if it can barely keep my water clean.

how about an xp4?

xp4 aint bad had it with for my 200 gal . but after upgrading my tank to a 300 gal i upgraded to an fx5

the xps are more for biomedia if anything, the gallon rating or whatever isnt near what its supposed to be. ac110 are pretty good, i know they arent canisters but they are cheaper and have a pretty good amount of media

This would be an excellent solution also http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=144404

i have a 100 gallon with a sump and rena xp4,the xp4 is ok but not the best,if u really wanna save money ther is so many options thers diy sumps that are pretty easy are ac110 and the odysea canisters ther pretty good for the money u spend

fx5, best bet. You are going to need more than just one canister filter reguardless of wht you buy.
