I'd recommend the XP3 for that size tank.

The XP3 comes with media.

Your filter media and filter don't have to be the same brand.

Anyone's Bio media (rings or nuggets) can go into the Rena filter. You don't HAVE to get Rena stars.
Any brand carbon will work in the XP filter.

The exception is the mechanical filtration. These are foam pads cut to shape to fit the filter baskets. Rena's pads fit the rena baskets. You don't need to use these. You can just use generic filter floss instead.
