I just hooked up my XP3 yesterday. I have had the thing for 2 years
sitting
in a box waiting until I got around to building a 180 tank. So now I am
cycling the filter. I like the set up better than my Fluval 404 which is
about 4 years old however the new Fluvals as someone else pointed out
are
much improved. This Filstar was recommended to me as the next best
filter
to
the Eheims. It runs nice and quiet, has a huge area for media so I think
it
will work out just fine.

Can you get spare hose, elbows, etc for the XP ?

this thing could be hooked up and run using clear hose and pvc adapters
available at any hardware store or you could pay a premium and no doubt
order them from the company .
