i cant throw $350 on my tank right now but i found the 600gph FX5 for $220. is that a good price. never knew there were 2 types of fx5 til today

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!

Still a good filter I have two on my 600 and it keeps the water nice and clean.

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!!!

My fx5 has a sponge pre-filter on the intake.
After feeding, water is clear and when I clean th unit, hardly any debris.
