Guys, I am looking to make the switch from 2 power filter systems to a canister type. I think I have narrowed it down between the Rena XP2 and the Fluval 305. Which one do you guys recommend?
Fluval 305 or Rena XP2?

- Start date
what size tank is it? what inhabitants will be in it?
honestly, either one would be fine. although i don't use canisters, my friends have them and i prefer the FilStar XP2 both in terms of price and ease of use.

Also, if I bought a package of either model at the store, would it have EVERYTHING required to get it up and running, or would I need to purchase anything more?
The way I get the best out of Fluvals all you need extra is a bunch of loose filter floss. I have not used Renas because Fluvals have always been great for me and I have heard that the Fluvals are a step up from Renas.
I have and XP3 on my 55 african tank and it works great. It comes with everything you need and is self priming. A good buddy has a fluval 404(old model) on his 55 african tank and loves it as well. We've had them both about the same time and neither have had problems. Both are quiet. I would just go with the XP3 or 405, whichever one you can get cheaper. If you can afford Eheim a lot of people swear by them.
