180 gallon freshwater filtration upgrade question

vtx-coley · Dec 12, 2008

Hey all,
I'm looking to upgrade my filtration on my 180 gallon. Right now I have 2 Aqua Clear 110 HOB and a Rena XP3. I'm looking at the Fluval FX5, but I'm open to suggestions. The residents are in my signature and I'm going to be adding fish as time goes on. I'm not interested in adding a sump.

So, Tell me what you have and if you're happy with it. Thanks.

fx5 is nice. i also saw in another thread there is a new bigger c series canister.... c530 i would go with that..... or a xp4

For me...it would have to be the C-530 hands down.....

Go with the Ehiem 2260 and never look back

So, I've looked at the C-530 and I really don't see much of an advantage over what I currently have. I would still have to run the two AC's or one AC and my XP3. I'd still end up with 3 different filters.

Am I missing something?
