Filtering a 125gal

[Sheldon_Goldwing]

I forgot one question on the 2217. Is it like just a glass tube and the filter media just gets layered in it? (no trays) If so how do you clean it with out destroying the Bio?

Can a heater or UV be added in-line with the hose on the FX5 & 2217 like the XP3 or XP4?

I just want to be sure, the FX5 would easily fit in and out of my 15-3/8" wide cabinet doors?

The 16" measurement is from the side of the canister to the end of the motor that sticks out. (Where the drain is???)

Thanks,

Sheldon

the doors on the stand of my 150 are 15.5" and it fits inside of it.

WOW I won a FREE Marineland Magnum 350 Pro Filter System!
After reading up I think you guys are right, better to have 2 smaller filters than one big one (like an FX5) so I'm going with the Filstar XP4 and the FREE Marineland Magnum 350 Pro. The two should be a good blend. My total cost is 179 so that is really nice for a couple filters. I'm going with an inline heater to. (Haydo ETH) I'm pumped, can't wait to get fish!

What kind of filter media do I need for the Marineland? Any suggestions or things to watch out for?

Thanks
