Hello there everyone. I just purchased a new 150g tank from a friend yesterday, and wanted to get some of your guys' thoughts on what I should filter it with. I've always used Eheim 2217's in my 75 and 55 Tanks and have never had any problems... ever. As far as the FX5 goes, I've been doing my research before my new purchase and have found very mixed reviews, mostly from other sites, not too many people seem to have problems with it from here though.
What makes the most sense. Running 2 Eheim 2217's or buying a FX5. I already have 1 extra 2217, due to me selling the 55g, so it'd be alot cheaper to go that route, plus I know and trust eheim. I've never had any problems and they work great, but I'm not sure if 2 2217s is even enough filtration for the 150.
If i go with the FX5, I'd have much less tank clutter. Both in the tank and out. It would also grant me the ability to upgrade my tank size again without having to buy another canister down the road, but I'd have more of an up front cost now.
So please, tell me you thoughts. I'd greatly appreciate some feedback. Thanks. Oh, yeah the new tank will house my 13" Silver Arowana, 20" Fire Eel, 14" Ornate and a 13" Delhezi Bichers.
