Hagen Fluval FX5

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Ducati- Is the bio and mech filter included already or you have to buy them? I would love to get one of those bad boys. Eheim are over rated. There are alot of guys here who doesn't use eheim. And they use DIY filters and wet/dry's. I guess all i can say is to each his own.

Ah finally just a normal question :) thank you

3 big baskets with foam around them - you need to buy the media and put it in.
Lots of options to choose from for that....you can be creative...just place it in the correct basket number for that type of media

Pangong_ilong,

I noticed we both live on the Island, and noticed others who are based here as well. At anytime you need a source or if i can assist i can probably set you up
with some of the established LFS around. Most likely you are already in touch with them - Im sure we buy from the same locations - :thumbsup:

I don't think you will find another experienced hobbyist that will agree that 2 AC 500 is enough filtration for a 180 full of big fish. It's just not enough. How about some pics of these set-ups?

Hey Saku,

Got some pictures for you - I can send the originals to you as well. Be prepared to eats your words and be humbled - I now own you :headbang2 :headbang2 :cry: :cry:

and this really freakin cracks me up - the picture show a very old (by any standard) Supreme aquaking power filter - a much less efficient system by far
than todays AquaClear 500. I had to throw out the Supremes because they used up too much electric - Aqua Clears were the even better with flow rating and media for their time..
Oh dont forget to take notice of the big fish and how many are in there - shall we count together? :ROFL:
