will an xp3 do?

[lach]

Okay , so both of you drive good points .... Every filter has potenital , my rena xp4 couldnt clean my 75 gallon alone.... i put it on my 200 with some pumps moving around alot of water and it cleaned it fine. Id say no filter is any good without the support of good waterflow and your tank turning over. So to your original question , i would not do just a rena alone , i would do the rena xp3 and maybe a power head or two to help force derbis to the rena , ( powerheads like 10$) so no big need for more filtration , just make sure your filtration has its best potential working!

IDK if these are available over there but I am sure you should be able to find some of them....like I said Coralife Turbo Twist is common and a good brand

First of all , why do you need a uv? all they really do is cut down on your alge growth , and dieseases in water. in a well maintained tank you shouldnt have either of these.. i know there are soem extreme cases .... drsfostersmith.com and other sites have uv for 90$ ... go on ebay and they sell the same one for 30$ shipped ... it cleaned up a green pond i had .... but really not needed unless your having issues.

all tanks i have run in the past i always manage to get green water and it annoys me.. I've tried additives but they aren't a permanent option. even my pool has green water

Its your tap water sir, get a reverse osmosis system, that means that your tap water has chemicals that make your water that way. Sorry to hear that bro, i know friends that have that same problem.
