FX5

[ElJefe]

I'm going to get a Fluval FX5 just wonndering if it will be enough for my 210gal. current occupants:
1- 15" aro
1- 20"+ moray eel
1- 20" ID shark
1- 10" ripsaw
1- 12" plec
1- 8" JD
1- 5" JD
1- 6" four line Pim
1-3" GT
1- 7" sun cat
1- 6" BK
1- 6" BGK

seems like alot but most hide in or under decor. you only really see aro and JD's and GT until the lights go out then you hear every one come out..

i currently have two canisters the get about 200gph each i want to put nothing but filter floss in these and have the FX5 for all my bio..
feedback please.

Personally I have found the FX5 is more mechincal in nature, baskets are shallow. I would use the lower GPH filters for bio filtering....in fact Seachem recommends no more than 50 GPH for their Denitrate product

i use 2 in a 180 g which has a lot less fish than that.

Just wondering...what is a moray eel doing in a fw tank??!?

it was a "fw marble moray eel" they are acclimated to fresh water as babies...as they get older "they need brackish"...i bought it because some little kid almost had his mom convinced to get it for his 10gal. i hurried up and grabbed a fish catcher person that way he will live for a little while longer/ until i find him a good brackish home.
