ok thanks ppl. I think i will get 2 FX5 and not sure 1 or 2 power heads. atm i can get a brand new FX5 and free shipping for $450 aus each. I was thinking ehiem but they are cost way to much. atm I am running a wet and dry and resun lol. I am planing upgrade in one to two years... beacause need to pay the home loan....


What's wrong with the wet/dry?

People are way too eager to recommend spending insane amounts of money on filtration.
I agree but you having said so ... explain further

You'll be fine with a single fx5 filled with bio media.

If you plan on using chemical or polishing pads, I'd suggest picking up a small canister or large hob and use that for easily replaceable media.

use 2 if you plan on stocking a lot of fish, fill them with biomedia and run a couple of korilia 4s

I run one fx5 and a korilia 4 on my 75g.
 
I have 2 on my 240 and it stays clean
