The xp1 is rated for 45g. I have one on a 29g tank right now and it's doing just fine.

I don't have any xp2s, but they're rated for up to 75g, which most likely means I'd use it on a 55. I do have the xp3s tho and they work great on 75s.

I were you I'd try to do some more research, or talk with some people that really keep saltwater. While I've had really good luck with the Rena canisters, I've never tried them on anything saltwater.

Basically I don't want you to find out the hard way that there are better options in your price range more suited to salt water tanks.

Well it sounds like you have definately been doing your research and those are all solid products as far as I know.
