    If one of them decides to work, the other decides not to. It's so frustrating. I'm looking into eheim, building a sump, but first I'll probably have to completely tear apart my rena filters to see if I can get them up and running.

    If you can't get the Rena's to work, eheims are nice as well as the Fluval FX5. The FX5 can filter A LOT of waste out before they slow down and they are a very user friendly filter. I ran them on my fish tanks for years along with a sump with no problems. The FX5 is a lot easier on the wallet as well....$210 on Amazon.com with free shipping.

    Woot, I'll have to look more into the FX5. I've heard of it, but figured I'd look into eheim (being the 'mercedes' of filters and all that).

    However, I was wrong before. I run two XP3's. I don't know why I posted xp2's.

    The FX5 is a great filter. I have had and still have many eheims and they ARE great filters but if they are considered Mercedes' than FX5's can be considered BMW's on sale. There is no other filter on the market that offers the filtration, quality and price of the FX5.
