Filstar - best option of what you mentioned. :)
 
I have both a Filstar and a couple of Fluval's. I would go with the Filstar. A xp-2 would work fine, but if I had the extra money I would go with the xp-3.
 
XP2 and XP3 owners.....

What combination to you use to load the the XP2 or XP3 media
baskets?


Based on the replies so far, I am leaning to the Filstar's


Many thanks,
Daniel
 
I also have the best tank in the world ;). I would suggest getting an XP 3 and keeping one of the Penguins, or you can do what I did and get 2 Emperor 400s. They are awesome, they pick up so much crap, it's amazing.

I'm using filter floss and ceramic bio-balls, with a small amount of peat pellets placed in a re-useable filter pouch. And sponges. No charcoal..

I use the sponges that came with it, filter floss,ceramic noodles, and bio balls.

I agree with NJF on how much gunk it picks up. I was amazed.
