About to buy a Filstar from Big Al's...couple of Q's

[Gomer]

I have a 29g and was going to get an XP2. I figure that my fishload would prefer it over the XP1. now I am thinking of the XP3. I know this is really overkill, but is this beyond overkill?

Do the Filstars from Big Al's come with Media?

Suppose I get an XP2 (or an XP3)...how do you recommend I load it? I am trying to figure out how much media I need to buy.

Thanks!!!

I would just ask the LFS, they are pretty good with that but sometimes they will oversell, like with my powerhead.. gggrrr.. They told me I needed a 600 and I now have it running on the lowest possible setting and it is still able to knock my fish back pretty hard :( I'd stick with the 2, there's not much point in having the 3.
