Doctors foster and smith Filstar XP3

[Panther28]

I just called customer service and asked them if the filter comes with everything needed and the lady tells me that it needs a pump? what kind of pump do we have to buy to run the canister filter? I am totally confused now? Does anyone know anything about this? No wonder they are selling it for $89.99. Can some one clear things up for me please.

 

[TheMainer]

A pump? I think she either didn't understand your question or she doesn't know what she is talking about. The only thing you will most likely have to buy is the media to go inside it. You will get a canister, with a power cord, three baskets with separators, tubing for in and out take, and lots of small pieces that allow you to determine how you want the water to enter and exit your tank.

ok I called them up again. Wow can you imagine the lady at customer service did not know anything about the product. How did she get the job even

Just like I wonder how some people got to work at a pet store.

 

[Panther28]

Well petco near my house it pretty good. There is this guy Rick he is very good at his work. Some people just get jobs on relations and friendships even if they are not fit for the job. I know cuz I did the same. But I do regret that.

Every single thing you need should come in the box, even some carbon. I bought an XP2 a few months ago and all I had to do was toss the carbon and add my peat.

same here, xp2 comes ready with pads and bag of carbon, there are empty places for stuff like peat or bio media. renas are the best i have EVER used hands down awsome, and cheap to boot

I bought an XP3 and XP1 second hand about a year and a half ago and they have both been going strong since. I'm really high in these filters and like them alot. Easy to setup and easy to maintain. I think you will be very pleased with it.

 

[Panther28]

Ohh no I have to wait for the filter untill 19 july. I should have paid a little extra to get the filter earlier. Well too late!

 

[amd]

my xp2 does great on my 55, id say a xp3 will rock the house. you will be impressed that you got such a filter at a price like that when it gets going

 

[Panther28]

I just cant wait for that long. I will go crazy. I got the XP3 for 95 with shipping. I got a $5 discount too. I think it is a pretty good deal. *SUPERSMIL *BOUNCINGS *BOUNCINGS *SUPERSMIL *BOUNCINGS *BOUNCINGS *SUPERSMIL *BOUNCINGS *BOUNCINGS*SUPERSMIL
