Go with the FX5 in conjunction with 2 Aqua Clear 110. Each 110 will push 500 gallons and hour. So that is 1900 gph. Even decreasing flow by a third because of dirty media you still have a flow rate of 1200+ gph. That means you are pushing water through the filters at least 5x an hour. Plus the 110 are only 60 bucks a piece and the give agitation to the surface of the water versus everthing in a canister where there is minimal air flow if any.
