Canister Filter for 58G planted tank

[milalic]

The idea is to have inline CO2 reactor and inline heater.
Which of these two would you recommend and why:

1. XP3
2. Eheim PRO II 2026

I like eheims but both would work fine. Both companies make excellent equipment.

XP3 - more flow for less money, only downside is you can hear a tiny hum from the filter, where as the eheim will be basically silent.
However, if you have a door on your tank stand, you'll never hear that XP3 make a peep, unless it gets an air bubble...unlikely.
