Heya guys!
I have been running two 404's for years with GREAT success on a 120G, and I have 4 wide biowheels incorporated, two on each filter.
The humidity in my house is way too high and we need to either drop it or loose the tank.
So, I have a 150gallon waiting. That one is my old reef tank and has a closed top. I wonder if I can run the FX5 without a bio-wheel. Is this multistager able to do ALL my mechanical and biological filtration? In the end, I hope to have a nice system without the effect of running the biggest humidifier money can buy (the 4 biowheel evaporate 10 Gallons a week).
And if I can run the FX5 as a closed in-line, will I need to run a airstone now since I don't enrich the water with air anymore via my wheels and the splash??
Thank you for your advice,
Götz
