do they sell canister filters at petco or petsmart?

[AquariumNoob13]

if they don't, any other good places where they would? (in the san diego county please)

 

[ansbfish]

yep they both have em

petco off the top of my head sells penn plax cascade, and eheim ecco..
not sure if they have rena or any other eheims tho, never really paid much attention

 

[simplyorange]

fluvals and renas too.

edit: like the other thread. check online prices, print it out, and bring it in-store to get it priced matched if its cheaper.

 

[tks4d2]

they do but petco and petsmart sell different brands...check their websites

 

[AquariumNoob13]

alright. thanks!

 

[AquariumNoob13]

this was recomended to me a while back:

Rena XP3

is that good on a 75 gal mbuna tank alone? or will i need an HOB filter too?

 

[Rbishop]

Of course they do. Have you been to one of their stores...?

I over filter, so I would run two.

If you were to get the Rena XP3, Get it off www.bigalsonline.com. they sell it for $90 + shipping whereas Petsmart/Petco sells it for around $150 - $180.

and is bigalsonline trustworthy? like have u ever ordered anything off of them and they delivered it in ship-shape condition?

I just got my order last Friday from Big Al's Online and its all setup and running good.
I got everything for cheaper than what most retailers want for a single xP 3.

Here is how it looked after I emptied the 2 boxes.


Also, the 1L of Efhimech only filled 1/2 the middle compartment of my xP 3 so I'd definitely get 2L at least, if not 3L.
