Fx5 good enough for 240 gallon

[Jacolby]

Im planning on getting a 210 gallon, will a Fx5 be good enough with filtering?

I think the answer depends on the stock of the tank, but an fx5 with multiple power heads could work, just an fx5 nothing else would not be great,
Best option to make it work
-bare bottom
- 2 to 4 power heads
- no decor
- clean often
- weekly water changes.

Good answer. Personally, if the budget allowed i'd run dual FX5s.

I thought about it, the plan would be dual fx5 and 2 power heads

I have a 220 and plan to run it off 2 fx5 filters and then probably still add a power head.

I have a 210 and I ran a fx5 it did well except you have to do weekly water changes. But 2 would be ideal.

I have a 210g and I use two FX5's. I made custom spray bars so I get pretty good circulation.
