Fluval FX5

[canucksfan1]

Does the fluval FX5 have a max head height and if so what is it?? I ask because i was thinking bout gettin this filter for my tank, but my tank is about 6 and a half feet tall on the stand.

can you put it on a crate or something? the higher the filter has to pump, the less pressure.

i can put it on something what should i do tho the top of the canister level with the bottom of the tank or the bottom of the canister at the bottom of the tank or what???

 

[canucksfan1]

anyone??? I am thinkin the top of the canister as close as i can to the bottom of the intake hose in the tank??? does that sounds right for max flow??

The top of the canister has to be minimum 8" below the water surface.
