i love my xp3... i only clean mine every month or max 6 weeks. i really don't mind it. i got two strong powerheads and UGF on my 60 gal tank. all my fish are health and happy. and has been growing fast!
i will prob just add an ac110, hob's are so easy to maintain and the wife would freak out about a w/d under the tank because we have a baby that will be crawling any day now and we dont want him to drown or pull a tube out of the tank and flood the house!
