Thanks, that helps a lot :D

I'll be putting in an oscar, JD and possibly 3 silver dollars or giant danios. I'm sure they'll be able to swim... (or die lol an interesting motto)

SWIM or DIE, would be many generation's of Naval influence, self included, possibly the first word's I ever heard, but Dad was SERIUOS lol:)

Are you looking on-line or in a LFS. Petsmart will meet any price w/ ad, but ( http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/NavResults.cfm?N=2004+22777 ) run's Fluval 405's for $169 all the time & Eheim Pro's for $320 & ( http://www.aquariumsuppliesforless.com/ ) run's Fluval FX5's for $239 on sale & $299 reg. All of these are very good filter's & are extremely good price's (they're 2x's or more $$ in your LFS I'm sure). Both are established online businesses & are very trustworthy. I'm sure there are other's as well, just happen's to be my go to site's & if Petsmart will accept a print out of a price on an item they carry, well then your good ta go:)
Let us know what you did & where you did it at when you do, do it:)

For what its worth that aquariumsuppliesforless.com has the most expensive price for an XP3 I have ever seen... $229.99!?! :eek: I can get the XP4 locally at an LFS for $179 for cryin out loud, lol! And looking at thier eheims is no different, I got my 2026 for $150 less and mine included the media kit and theirs doesnt. Holly crap I'd run away from that site fast, lol.
 
that oscar is a filthy fish trust me i raise them in my 2 120 gal setups and i wont use anything but eheim and my 29 gal sump setup. go to www.bigalsonline.com they have the best prices on the net and they price match any net price as well :) i use the 2028 pro II it comes ready to use with all the media for around 200$ the media that you will have to buy for the xp3 will cost you around 30-50$ extra and the eheim will out filter anything else in a canister design for the money, especially if you buy a bottle of 250 ml purigen and put it in the filter in a filter bag.

good luck
 
For the FWIW file...

Just picked up 2X XP3's at PetSmart on Sunday for $104 each with pricematching (store price was $179).

Only been running them for three days, but happy so far!

Took me two hours to set up the first one (had a problem figuring out the proper procedure for priming-helps if you RTFM!). Second one was installed in 30 minutes.

Only thing I don't like is the butt-ugly blue grey color of the intake tube; sticks out like a boil on the butt of Angelina Jolie. Nothing some tall plants or Krylon Fusion won't fix though....

You probably missed the post where you can get the XP3's for $74.99 at petsmart.com right now with coupon code XP3XP4. Maybe you could print out your online basket showing the discount and take it in to the store and get refunded the difference?
 
Tristan-

Bought them at the store, not online.

Remembered seeing your post about the coupon after the fact....
