[voodeezy]

Ok so immfinally able to put my big tank back up, I wanted to know if anyone could tell me what website has the best prices... I currently use eheim 2217's an they're great buy im prob gonna buy an fx5 because the bigger eheim
do not come with filter media and it ends up being real expensive

I get alot of my supplies from Big Al's online, but if you want a FX5 I think Ebay is the cheapest. I don't know if they come with media or not though.

got 5 xp3's from thatpetplace.com they gave me a great deal.

They gave you a great deal? Like you were able to get them discounted because you bought more than one?

yeah more than likely...most places will go cheaper when you buy them as "wholesale."

amazon.com has fx5 for 237 w/ free shipping

Yeah amazon is def the best place... So immgetting the combo with pre filter media and bio media... What else does it need to fill up? I'm guessing one coarse pad one fine pad and one carbon pad or something, idk

pond matrix? maybe add purigen...

I've seen FX5s in my LFS for $199 a few months back. I think if you look around you may be able to do the same.
