Which Filter Fx5 ?

[Sanfordandbro]

Hello.. Just Joined.. and planning on spending some time searching through the threads... While I do.. I'm trying to ID which filter(s) I should use...

I purchased 3 complete tank set ups..

A 100 gal, a 150 and a 190( I think it is 190 )
With the tanks, I got a piles of stuff.
Including 3 fx5 , a fluval 304 and a large rena.

I sold the 150..tank and stand .only.

I'm keeping the 190 bow front and not sure which filter to keep...or 2... And I want to keep a spare. The rest is to be sold.

I had a 55 gal a very long time ago. So it not all new to me.

I just want to figure this out quick so I can maybe pick up supplies for it tommarrow...

Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

If it was me, Id keep the Fx5's.. Ive had alot of good luck with mine and in the market to be buying more for my tanks.

Hook up just 1 ? or 2 ? and save 1 for a spare?

Fx5's are great they have lots of room for filtration media and move lots of water all you need is one for your 190 but 2 would make your water crystal clear and it's always good to have a backup so keep all 3 unless you want some cash I'm sure several members would be willing to give anywhere from 150 to 200 for it maybe more depending on condition

Ok..Great.

I'll run the 2 then, I think... and save one for the spare.

Thanks for the info...

I'll post the rest of the stuff that's forsale , after mine is set up and running..Including the last tank.
