I see why people put two FX6s on big tanks now. Usually for messy fish like Cichlids, I know.
However, a while back I scored a Fluval FX2 for sale from Petsmart. Got it damn near 40% off. It filters my tank pretty well and I don't have a lot of "messy" fish but I was curious if I could run a large sponge filter (rated 180 gallons) along side of it to help me with my bioload. (which isn't much, in my mind). I do plan on getting another FX series to run with it but I'm not ready to drop 200+ dollars again right now lol
150 Gallon tank.
8x Bloodfin Tetras
4x Dojo Loaches
4x Otocinclus
2x S.A Bumblebee Catfish
2x juvenile Bala Sharks (I had 4 but two died after a day. Petsmart fish, unfortunately)
1x Albino Pleco
