From what I have read about the FX5, I'll put my Marineland C-530 up against it any day, it's a beast. Haven't tried the sump thing yet but looking forward to it. With just the overflow on a sump that is not the same as an intake tube sucking up the dirt. I would find it weird to not have an intake tube in the tank.
Which is the best for mechanical filtration?

Ac110 would get my vote. It's really easy to clean and it has pretty good GPH. The magnum canister and hang on back works great too at polishing your water.

Hayward EC40 DE pool filter. $220 delivered from Amazon. Nothing else mentioned will come close to the water clarity. I have had it for 9 months with pretty much NO maintenance. I am still on the original charge of DE powder. After having been given a Diatom D-1 and been incredibly impressed by it I gambled my $220 that the Hayward EC40 DE pool filter would work on an aquarium. I am TOO PLEASED!!!! So I guess I am now a self appointed DE pool filter evangelist trying to spread the word about how great they work!
