Somehow picturing my tank lined with eight ac110s is what would look silly. Ofcoarse my tank is only eight foot long, so only room on the back for six of the ac110s. Guess I could hang the other two in front.
Cleaning interval on my two Fx5s is every 3-4 months. Cleaning my ac110s every 4 weeks. If you do the math, time spent...well i think anyone should be able to see were i'm going.
Yeah I would agree to there to being a lot of "silly" in this thread. Too much comparing apples to oranges, instead of comparing apples to apples. I mean what kind of idiot uses a sports car, when they need to be using a moving truck
. I'm not saying at all that I hate my FX5 because that is not the case. It's just with all the hype I layed out the money got it here, setup (with some issues, I don't like Hagen Support) it up and I did not see what I was missing from what everyone else was seeing? Again I also own two 406's (which I like by the way, but its expensive for what you get in my opinion, from what I have read about past 04, 05, they have made allot of improvements) and the Marineland C530. I know a canister is not a sump but there are so many good canisters out there Eheim, Rena, Aquatop/Sun Sun, Etc. So, you folks out there that run multiple brands how do you think it compares? I wish I had the need or the money because there are probably five or six filters out there I'd love to try but I'm not one of the lucky folks with a fish room and multiple tanks. Look at posts on any one day and count how many times you see FX5 or AC110 (which is also a awsome filter I have owned one and loved it, but it also has it's issues).
