Tank!
I am very happy! how ever, I need support. Are there any good pieces of advice?
I want a community tank... do you know about fluval fx5?
Thanks!
 
Community tanks are not my thing, however the fx5 is a excellent filter for that size tank. I would even add a 30-50g sump to it, to help even further with filtration. The fx5 should be able to handle it regardless. They move so much water and have a ton of room for media. Great filters.
 
Thanks for the advice, I wasn't sure, but now I am. What is a sump? Thanks again...
 
Search "sump tank" on here. It's basically a tank under your main tank filled with more bio media that helps filtration. They can be planted, with fish but a lot of the larger tanks people use them for extra bio filtration.
 
We have 3 Fluval FX5's we use and one is on our 220g planted tank. They are excellent filters and as stated above they have a ton of room for various types of media.
