W/D or new FX5

[Wolf3101]

I know I'm going to get a LOT of flak about this but here goes....LOL

Buying a pump and possibly a little media is a LOT more economical than setting up an FX5. Additionally I always recomend more than one filter system for safety and in the case of the FX5 that would mean even more expence.

Wet/dry filters can be a bit intimidating at first...sort of like driving a truck with a manual transmission but once you have it down it's not all that complicated.

I really hope Rally dosn't read this thread and catch me sending someone down the dark path...

depends on the quality of the pump eg march mag drive

OK you got me on that one...
One last thing as far as safety goes...Although its rare to break a return hose connection on a FX5...it IS possible and that beast will empty even the largest tank in a heartbeat...

I have a pro clear 300 on mine and it works great, the overflow is a tad noisy though, so predrilled would be even better
