RENA Filstar XP3

I would like to add that the pump is very quiet but lacking in power. For the price it does the job with good reliablity.
funny, I was just going to say how powerful the XP3 is..
moves a lot of water.
they are great filters. I love mine.

If you're going to use on a turtle tank, put a piece of filter sponge over the intake to prevent the large pieces of poop from fouling the filter too quickly. You'll probably have to rinse out the sponge every other day or so, but you won't have to do maintenance on your filter that often.
oh o.k. thanks wolf.
i was about to say; the bend in the top part(when going over the tank) is an exception right?
but then I noticed that the flexible tubing doesn't even go over the tank..some hard pre-formed plastic one goes over it...
hey also one of my friends was telling me that it might be a stupid idea to get a filter rated for 175gallons when I only have like 30gallons of water..
i told him that it's not bad to over-filter the tank but then he said that the flow from the spray bar is probably gonna be enourmous and will stress out the fish..
but then I said that it will be facing slightly upwards..
is that o.k.?
i am starting to think he is right..will a 40gallon breeder tank be suitable for an XP3? Like would the tubings even fit..or will they be too long for a 16" high tank?
he's also saying that the water will only get filtered in one side because of "circular current"

On the XP3 you can control the flow on the spraybar. The XP3 come with a valve which will let you adjust the flow coming to the spraybar.
