Buying another canister filter, wich one, Rena or Fluval?

[125intx]

I allready own a Fluval 404 and a Rena XP3. I need to buy another one for a new tank 100g. What filter do you recomend between the two?

The 205 is $89 at *****.
*****
and i dont think its big enough for a 100g

sorry, i meant 405....i would appreciate hearing as well from anybody with experience in either filter, or others for a 100g

I have Fluval 304 for my 46g. It's overkill but it works great. Easy and simple. I use it as one my "powerheads." I would recommend the Fluval but I haven't used the Rena.

i thought everyone was against canister filters in lieu of live rock???

i ran 2 fluvals 304 on my 90 and they were great but i just got sick of the maintenance and went sump..

I have a fluval 404 and it works good but you have to clean it about every week.

Ocean Clear Canister Filter: Will filter up to 1600gph. And that is just about where you want to be in the water flow turn over rate in the 100g.
