got my new fx5

[ozpkchris]

it looks pretty cool and big
comes with a work book and a dvd for setup

i was saying to my self, im gonna have to go bye more media,
but really i had to cram in my exiting media tight in there

but it runns verry quit and the out put is decent on a 180 (its no 900gph)
but so far so good

ill probly be getting a seconf cause i dont think it gonna handle the 180 on its own

agreed, id get another for a 180

yea being a Huge Canister filter..It really dont hold alot of media!!! I thought the same thing when i got mine..and dont put alot..the outflow wont be that strong!

Has anyone removed some of the sponges and filled where the sponges go with bio media, and maybe covered that with blue filter media???

My FX5 is the best purchase that I have made, since I started fish keeping. Since I purchased mine maintenance has been so much easier. I only have 1 on a 125. Imagine if I had 2 on their.
