Which Filter for 130 Gallon tank?

I'm about to start ordering equipment and I'm torn between these three eheims.

The 2260 which would turn the tank over 3+ times but would need to be primed.

or the 2028 pro or 2128 (with the internal heater) which would only turn the tank over 2+ times but has the self-priming pump head.

I should add that I'm going to try to install a closed loop similar to Ghazanfar's.

Are you considering the 2250?

I wasn't. Only because I like the self-priming and the heaters (I have one of the pro series on my 55) so the only benefit (IMO) to the classic cannister would be the turn over rate. The 2250 is similar in that respect to the pro series.

On the other hand, would the 2260 turn a 130 into a whirl pool?

Don't know about turning it into a whirpool but you probably wouldn't need the
closed loop then.

If you're adding the closed loop, then one of the pro series should work out
fine.

Thanks. I ordered the 2128.
