Is FX5 the best?

[burbon44s]

I have 2 fx5' s on my 210. All I have in there are 2 , 1 year old Leo's . I use
bio -mac in different sizes as my main media. I don't use their sponge pads at all. They seem to plug up way too fast. I also ran lava rock in another and that works pretty good to

ceramic for bio and the sponges that come with it should work well

for the money, the aquatop 500uv is one of my favorite canister filters next to the ehiem line up. i currently have one on my 30 gal (overkill i know), but im a filtration nerd haha

I love my two Eheim Pro 3 1200xl's. They also look good. I don't even have mine covered because i like the look of them but i am strange that way.

Pics of the tanks that i use them on. Both of the filters filter both tanks. I don't use one one because the one tank flows into the other.

Thank you. Still stocking them up.

I think they are. Have one on my 220 and one on my 150 and does the job perfectly.

Have 2 litres of seachem matrix in the 220 and 1 litre in the 150 (just in case what they say about nitrate reduction is a little bit true)

The rest is filled with fluval bio max. Have a heavy bioload in both and have never any problems.

Maintenance is easy too.
