2x Eheim 2217 or 1 FX5

[Dilema]

I have ordered another 150 gallon, which i think equals around 180 US gallons. I have decided not to use the sump, i'm going to use externals instead. So for a 6x2x2 do you think 2 Eheims or just the 1 fx5 would be best ? I'm still not too sure what will be going in it yet though

Thankyou.

imo 1 FX5.i think its 900 GPH vs 264 GPH x2.

I'd go with the fx5, or better yet and Eheim 2262. The 2217's flowrate isn't that high and wouldn't move much water in the tank, or suck up much. Even with two of them.
