Told my FX5 is no good

[Windsorguy77]

Sorry to burst your bubble some more..

The Fx5 has a flow volume of 600 GPH with or without media. The pump flows 900 GPH OFF the canister and without restrictions.

The Eheim 2262 says 900 GPH but that is the pump without restrictions. Its probably around 600-700 GPH.

This is why I will have an additional sump with extra mech/bio filtration to aid the FX5!

Kind of funny...

BB grow on more than biomedia..

The sponges, the substrate, the glass..... Most of the bacteria isn't even in the filter..
