FX-5 or 405
Okay - I'm starting my 3rd tank. A 72 gallon bow. I have everything I need all set up and ready for fishless cycling to begin... Except the filter and I'm hung up. I've been watching you tube videos and reading reviews. I've gotten a few other suggestions from here too.
Which would YOU do - the Fluval FX-5 or 405?
I don't want a lot of maintenance. I have a 36 gallon bow and a 10 gallon. I'm working on a quarrentine tank too - 10 gallons. So I guess that is 4 tanks.
I'm still quite new to this (only had my 1st tanks since July). And I just don't really understand the canister?
Also - I understand that they don't make the splashing sound that the HOB filters do?
Ugh - just having a hard time deciding.
I was able to buy everything else I needed from my distributor at cost (HOLLA!!!) but they only have a Marineland canister filter. I hear that the Fuval are better....
Help please?
