In my 210 I use 2 FX5s for polishing and water circulation, got to love the 925GPH pumps, and an Eheim pro 3 2180 with the heater built in for heating and bio. The pro 3s have very large bio trays, and the built in heaters keep my tanks temp very stable.

I have 2x Eheim 2213 classic for over 20 years now. But as you said, the rubber ring every once in a while...nothing else, yet *knockonwood*
My Eheim professional interval is a different story though, broke down after a couple of years. I am about to buy a 2260 now, back to the roots, when everything was better
Good luck with your FX 5 though.
I told myself i wouldn't buy fluval garbage ever again and try to steer people away, just from me and my friends experiences throughout highschool... but for what size it is, people who have reviewed it, and a 3 year warranty i figure i give fluval a chance to redeem themselves...scorp;4498422; said:

i heard some people say those polish pad clogs real quick in the fx5(the circle one that fits bucket).... are you saying to get the fluval polish sponges and put them in the media basket?? i know stock has a lot to do with things and the people who claimed this didn't mention their stock at all.....
Thanks!
Fthe fx5 is def a good filter, however eheim is better than fluval/Rena IMO... I have 2 2217's on my 100 gal, and with 1/3 weekly water changes nitrates are never above 10 (5 clown loaches, 4 vieja synspila growouts, 1 geo altifrons, 1 p. Endli)
