Howdy
Setting up a new marine tank. Had actually planned to setup this as an 80g freshwater Rainbow tank, but switched to marine after I bought a filter (Marineland Emperor 400). (Changed no because of filter; wife preferred marine fish) Now I want to add a canistar filter to supplement this filter. Considering the XP3 Filstar, Fluval 405, and Magnum 350 or any other that someone might recommend.
Would also consider using a Wet Dry, but my below tank space is limited to two 22"w X 18"d X 30"h wells. Haven't found a reasonably priced one that would fit there.
I think the Filstar is nice, but I don't see many parts for it around in the local stores. Fluval is pricey at 170 bucks and the Magnum looks awfully small on media.
Looking for recommendations and thoughts.
