Its always best to run 2 x canister filters
The fx5 isn't the best by a long shot you guys in the US only think its the best because its cheap nearly all you guys who big up the fx5 have never spent eheim money so have nothing to compare the fx5 with
The fx5 has its down sides it holds nearly no bio media for a filter that size its just a big massive sponge filter with lots of flow
Because it has so much flow it clogs up fast the pump draught is joke
The hoses are a joke anyone with a big tank should be running a UV good luck making one fit to the ribbed hose
If the fx5 is so great why have they made the fx6 which has just fixed a few issues the fx5 had
Move on fx5 fan boys the fx5 is no longer fluvals flagship filter
If you want a filter that will do a better job than the dx5 or fx6 and you don't mind spending money on a filter that will last a life time buy a eheim 2262
All we ever here is the fx5 fan boys saying how great it is they won't have a bad word said about it
What they forget to tell you is the tool box they need when cleaning it out
A filter you need a screw driver what ever next
