I used Rena's on my cichlids tanks and I prefer them HIGHLY over fluvals. Much better quality. Dont know anything about the toxin though :\ (Havn't given birth latley though

)

Fuvals are a better filter but more expensive, rena's are the best for the price though.

WHHHHHAAAAAAAT???? Fluval's are such POS's IMO. I have one running at home and it's such a pain to clean and prime. The XP3 is so much easier to work it.

I use to have both on my FW tank and prefer Rena; quieter, easier to service and wider box so you can pack in any way you want.
as for the chemicals we would never know for sure whats what unless comprehensive testing done on both materials.
Any plastic would give off some toxins when heated but in room temperatures it is inert IMO

which one do you have? the X04 series had some problems with the case leaking, that was fixed in the X05 seried. I have a 404 which I spent 35 bucks and got the updated case for it. I cannot hear it run at all, and it primes with in 10 seconds, except the first time where it is about 1 min.

XO4 and XO5? I can't find these things online. I'm familiar with the XP series (XP1, 2, 3 and 4).
