hello, im new here, and im about to buy my first canister filter, which is probably going to be a filstar xp2 or 3, but im not sure which size to get, and what media would you suggest using?
Spend the extra few dollars and go bigger (XP3)....typically I would run it with just bio-media and sponges.....what sized tank is it for and what sort of fish are you considering?
With your current fish...175 gallons or so.....those barbs and sharks get big and need an inordinate amount of swimming space compared to your other fish.
