The rena has that horrible blue plastic intake strainer though, it's awful. And the out take nozzle is so pathetic. It's a good filter but it could be much more aesthetically pleasing.
The 406 should be fine on a 64 gallon, what will your stock be? Depending on stock and with the amount of plants you'll have you could probably get by with just the 306. P
Not sure on the hosing size, I use the fx5 which is 1" ID but I'm like 90% sure the 406 uses 3/4" ID, swapping the ribbed hosing out for normal vinyl hosing is simple. I had done that with my fx5 but the 1" vinyl tubing was not flexible enough for what I needed so I went back to the ribbed. While clear may look sleek to begin with, give it a month and that clear tubing will be brown unless you're tearing it down every water change and cleaning it out. Mine didn't even see sunlight since I keep my curtains closed and I live in Louisville where the sun never shines and it was still brown inside. If you wanted to go crazy with it maybe you could frost the clear tubing as well to blend it in and block light.
