I would put the 404's on another tank and upgrade to 1 FX5 and forget about it 
it would actually be a bit overkill but I always try to use more filtration then I need ... you will just need a guard on the FX5's input so the tetras won't "disappear" and I would make a spray bar for the out put side and your good to go

I agree, i'd go with a single FX5.. That way if you ever decide to go away with the comm fish you'll still have enough filtration for bigger fish.. I'd always keep the 404's though.. If for some reason a FX5 or whatever craps out you always need an extra filter crappy or not.. Just my 2 cents.
