I had an FX5 on it at one point mostly filled with bio balls. I left the outer foam pads in and one of the pads in the center chamber so water flow wouldn't be reduced by sludge buildup. That tank was crystal clear all the time and I had a pretty heavy bioload in there. Looks great though, cant wait to see it loaded up
ya im getting excited ill definatley be picking up a fx5 or 2. my goal is to have a nice setup with some fish ive wanted to keep for a while lol idk if ill be picking up a fish soon or not i hope so then ill finnish up with the dry stuff
