rena xp4

Post by puffpaddy »

Now that I have a bigger tank I was thinking about replacing my AC110. At my local petsmart there is a brand new unopened rena xp4 good for up to 265 gallons for 114$. Has anyone ever owned or used one before?? Just looking for person opinions/experiences and wanted to take advantage of a good deal. Thanks in advance!

Why the upgrade on the AC110, it has more turnover then the rena will have?

I have 2 rena xp3's on my 125 and I absolutely love them. I've had them running for 5 years now and had no trouble with them.

I know nothing about the Rena but I love my AC's. I'm would love to get rid of my fluval canisters and replace them with AC's. My canisters work great but I hate cleaning them. I guess canisters just aren't my thing...although I do like how they are hidden, HOB's are ugly. I just can't have it all...lol!

I have two Rena xP1s and one xP2. LOVE them. They've been running continuously for years and are real powerhouses. You get a lot of bang for your buck in terms of GPH with the XPs.
