not a brand war. Fx5 and fx6

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Always better to have 2 filters on one tank. If one fail, other one can sustain the load for time being until you replace the faulty one.
 
Well do you think a fx5 isn't enough filtration for a 125g. Provided the tank isn't extremely over stocked.
And if so then yeah Your out to lunch. Lots of people hate and have there own brand. But the fx5 is a great filter that can easily handle 125gallons.

Can you provide us with the wattage of each of the two filters since the OP has dropped the ball on obtaining this info. I guess the FX5 is 56 watts so just need the FX6. :thumbsup:
 
I didn't drop any ball, waiting for next powerbill as he said he wanted to know how much I am charged in kilowatt hours, I figured anyone could search the watt for the fx6
 
Yep fx6 43watt , I do think the new dials are pointless though I know when to do w/c's and filter cleans and im guessing most others with filters this size will also
 
I run 2 Fluval FX5s on a 120g keeps the tank crystal clear! I would get the FX5 if you can find a new one for 250.00.
