xp4 over kill for 150 gal tank?
I posted a bit ago about setting up a new tank.
I am set on the xp3 but now the xp4 is out. Is the xp4 too much? Is the xp3 a better fit for the size of the tank? |

Don't buy the xp4. All it is is a little more gph and another basket...and it's like 100 bucks more.
If you want the equivalent, go buy two filters for almost half the price. Btw, it's not overkill, and essentially you really can't OVERfilter your water. My cousin, on his 45 gallon..has an xp3, an aquaclear, another HOB filter, and few spread around here and there.

Yeah, they just realeased it to keep up with fluval and eheim's new heavy duty models. Sadly, I was dissapointed to see that all they did was add another basket making it 4, and had a little more gph..but thought the price could go up an extra 100 bucks >.<.

The XP3 was great as it was. I agree with Flamingo. At the place I used to work, no one wanted to buy an XP4.
