Hello Friends :D ,

I have a 67 Gallon Tank. I already have a Eheim 2215 Filter. I am planning to buy another filter soon. Which one should I go for:

Fluval 306 Canister Filter

Eheim Classic 600 - 2217

Filstar XP3

Do you plan on running both filters?

Here's our filter sizing: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=30145

I would just get a XP3 and run that one. Sell the 2215 or keep it as a spare.

Thanks steve & VeipaCray.

If I get XP3 and run both filters at the same time, would there be any issue? Like would it harm them in any ways?

Might be a little rough on your electric bill but otherwise fine.
