Also maybe check craigslist i've seen a couple of used ones go for 90-175 dollars
sorry if its been done to death just asking u didnt have to answer dont need smart remarks anyway it is a 150gl
Whats with all the hostility on here lately? The man was just asking a question, Isn't that kind of the point of this whole forum thing? I plan on adding a FX5 to my setup in the near future, this seems like an amazing filter.
thanks yeah i i think i am going to get one next week my plecos are pooping like dogs ready to see it in action

HAHA! my pleco is to lol, that's why i decided to make myself a Diy Trickle/Sump/Wet/Dry whatever you want to call it out of a sterilite 3 draw and a tote.
im in the process of getting it all together just waiting for 3 parts which should be here by wednesday but it should flow at approx 900 plus gph after head loss, and have tons more surface area compared to a FX5. I'll have to wait and see though ive seen a lot of setups like mine and they work wonders, mines mostly gonna be for Bio filteration though.
Not try to rain on anyones parade but I think the FX5 is the biggest hunk of crap I have ever bought.
Pleckoking- save you money! go for an eheim 2262. Trust me from one Panaque lover to the next you will never regret that purchase. costs more but worth every penny.
I regret spending the money I did on the FX5. To me it is an over sized power head. I should of just bought the 2262 the first time.
Edit or what sniperofgods said. That is even better if you have the room to set one up
