2 huval fx6 on a 250 gallon?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My wife doesn't like the sump noise, and i work offshore and when I'm away from home she is confused about filling up the tank and sump when the water evaporates
 
Do you guys think that 2 fx6 could filter my 250 gallon?

Maybe... depending on bio load. I started with 2 fx5 and added 4 aquatop cf500uv because my water wouldn't stay clear.

Winning!
 
Absolutely - I have 2 fx5's on my 265 and the water is crystal clear. It is also overstocked with large Malawi predators (approx 40 fish ranging from 6"-12").

the only thing is you have to clean them often - like once a month. If I let it go 2 months - man o man - this filter sure can collect a lot of fish poo....

I also added a ehiem 2217 just filled with carbon. Not I have both fx5's using the outer foam and biomax in all three trays. I have had this setup for over 2 years and no problems - and yes it is very quiet.

Hope this helps...
