Anyone try the new Fluval XP5?

[viboy]

I think that is the name of it. It looks about half the size of a 5 gallon pail with a 2 head output that can be directed in 2 different directions.

You can get one here is Canada for about $350. I don't need one yet but maybe for my next tank.

Right now I am looking at the RENA Filstar XP3 to add to my 90.

I thought it was the XP4.... I haven't seen the 5 out yet but I am also interested if anyone has used the XP4 yet.

FX5 is the name of Fluvals new filter. I've heard it has insane capabilities.

I've heard nothing but good stuff about it. It can be had on ebay for around $225 delivered (in the US).

I've thought about putting one on my 150..

yes looks very impressive, now just need to know how well/reliable it performs. Maybe eheim finally has a competitor?

lol. i guess when EHEIM gets a competitor, they too will create good filters

I adore all Hagen products and think they make an excellent HOB and canister filter. I have a fluval 404 and despite what i've read this filter is a monster. It's got a really good flow rate and it's quite effective and easy to maintain imo.

If I had the money, though, i'd move to that eheim wet/dry canister filter =)

I'm a big fan of wet/dry filters now =P
