Fluval FX5 on my 50gallon

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
How do i know if i got too much flow or water movement in the tank? Sometimes i noticed my biggest GT will got where there is lots of flow and start swimming crazy and goin nuts but its only at one side of the tank, not like he has to be right infront of it.

Some fish do that just for fun. If it seems like too much flow, you can safely throttle it with the aqua-stop valve. Throttle only with the outlet valve, not the inlet.

You should be fine. I had a FX5 on a 55 for years. I personally would leave the flow open all the way. Redirect the the current from exit tubes if needed.

Just found this picture. lol Talk about overkill. FX5 and two 802 power-heads.:screwy: Thinking ahead, now all this stuff is on a 210.

PS the Cat. was only in their for a short time.
