I am setting up a 55gallon brackish tank and I want to go with a canister filter but I don't want to get the wrong thing I know that mfk recommends the rena xp3 but is that a good filter for my 55 gallon setup. I also dont want to spend crazy money I found the xp3 for $150 so thats doable. also I would like easy maintenance being that this would be the 4th tank in the house. Please any info would be great
New to canister filters what do I get

I have switched from fluval to xp3 and never looked back.
Its quiet and it does not leak like my fluvals occassionally did.
Maintenance is pretty norm for canisters. I check it like once a month and make sure there is nothing wrong inside/clean the sponges.
My fav canister so far.

i'd go with fluval all day every day.. i've used them for years and have had almost no problem with them. i did have to actually buy some replacement parts this month.. after 4 years..
i have fluval 404's, 405's and FX5's. never had to replace anything on the FX5's, but the 405's break a little thingie in the top part, they are $5 on ebay. it's just a clip that breaks, and it's a simple fix.
