pretty sure there's only one fx5..$220 is a good price brand new..if it's not brand new that's a bad price..its' a plus if it comes with new/used media

There is only one FX5 and its rated for 925 gph without media and just over 600 gph with media.
oooooh. that explains it. they brag at 925 but if it is actually going to filter the water, it runs 600.

like having a 700 horsepower car but it drops to 250hp when you put it in gear!

Ive got 2 on my 210 and only cleaned them once in a year. Their awesome my tank is crystal clear at all times. After changing the water it gets a little cloudy and within 5 minutes its clean. Hands down amazing!!!
