New filtration for 90g

[maclak5000]

I just recently got a 90 gallon set up that has an internal overflow and sump wet/dry. The setup is pretty nice but I was thinking of doing a planted tank and wet/dry filters really destroy the CO2 levels. So I am looking into other solutions. I am desiding between 2 XP3s, and fx5 or an Eheim 2028. All of these are about the same price in total so the cost is not the issue. I have used xp3's and they work great, how ever I was looking to maybe try something new. Obviously the FX5 has the Eheim for GPH, I am looking for one that has the least maintenance and easiest to maintain. If any one has used either one of these two let me know your thought, or if I should just stick to the xp3's.

i would go with the fx5 nice filter thats very easy to use and maintain

Considering the same bio/plant load for the Eheim 2028 and the FX5, not having used either one I was wondering would you have to clean one more than the other, and would I need powerheads to help the lack of water movement with the Eheim 2028?

 

[joedodge]

with the eheim you prolly would need powerheads my vote gos to fluval for the price and performance there the best bang for the buck
