Ocean Clear filter specifications

I am having trouble finding information on the physical dimensions and the sions and the technical specifications (mostly to help me figure out which ones I might consider) on the Ocean Clear canister filters. I have never owned or used one of these before, but am curious and am considering getting one or two to experiment with. However, figuring out from the online stores and Red Sea's web site how to match model to purpose is not very clear for someone not intimately familiar with them, I think.

So, first of all, can someone give me an idea of their circumference and height? Do all of the models use the same size canister (the outside dimensions, that is)?

Any web sites or PDF documents out there that give this information clearly? (Again, what I found on Red Sea's site is not too helpful to me in the pre-sales phase).

 

Thanks. I had been trying to interpolate sizes from different photos, and I was somewhat close.

I am considering either a 120 gal or a 60 gal tank as my first "big" tank. If I go the way of the 120 gal, I was looking at trying something similar to your (Tom's) 180 gal Starphire setup, with the drilled in/outlets and the Ocean Clear filters. Complicated, perhaps, but I am willing to spend some money to take my experience and practice further.

If I go for the 60 gal (cube), I was considering either the Filstar XP3 or XP4.

One big question I have is how much flow is "good", realizing of course that the answer is an "it depends" type, but what should one see? Are there any videos on YouTube that show good flow, so I can see something?

Sorry to be all over the place topically here, but I am trying to narrow down my focus and options so I can write up a plan... Otherwise I'll end up with an expensive, unworking mess!

Thanks.
