A Austin Feeder Fish MFK Member Mar 7, 2005 2,114 1 0 . Oct 19, 2009 #4 what size tank and sump? xp3 on something requiring 600w of heating seems unnecessary...
S sbrodacz Feeder Fish MFK Member Jun 9, 2009 832 0 0 Illinois Oct 19, 2009 #5 125 gallon tank with a 35 gallon sump. The xp3 is just added filtration. I have an Emperor 280 and power head as well.

A Austin Feeder Fish MFK Member Mar 7, 2005 2,114 1 0 . Oct 19, 2009 #6 gotcha. that much heater sounds like overkill IMO. i've only got 600w on my 300gal and they're hardly ever on...
