i LOVE my xp3 but then again it is in a 30 gal, I really like the design and the reviews I have heard of the Eheim pro, but I have only tried and seen in person the Rena XP3's so thats what i voted for but I know their is better. =)
Still alot of variations.
The results you will get are going to be a little skewed. Eheim pro encompasses four different designs, 2 of which are unlike any other eheim.
personnly went for fluval, as thats all i've used, and they've done great. they keep getting slagged off, but i dont see why. and given that XP3s are more expensive than 405s i'll go with fluval anyday.
but if the eheim externals are as good as the internals(tried the eheim aquaball, fluval4+, 2 different interpet filters, superfish, the aquaball is by far the best filter, fluvals good but i have to net it when remooving it as it drops a lot of cr@p) i would go for them, their not cheap though... especially as a large proportion of the time the media isnt included.
