Absolutely. I love mine. Maintenance is a snap on them, it's self-priming, and soooo much less troublesome and cumbersome than the regular filters you hang on the back of a tank. This makes all the difference in the world when you are pressed for space, like me. I'm also in the process of putting a 125 in the wall of my living room, and we aren't even finished cutting the hole for it yet, but I went out and got my XP3 already!
