Fluval FX5

just don't know what to get i like the APS filters but am thinking it mint be better to go for a higher LPH rate for more tank turn over rate !
The new filter will be installed as well as the aps 2000ef that is already installed as i think i need the uv light cose my tank it so much clearer with it !

the tank it will all be running on is 470LTR malawi tank

so what would be the best to go for want to hear what ever on thinks please ?

+1 on the FX5, I recently added a second one to my 6' Tropheus tank, solid workhorses, have to admit wasn't keen on the design etc when I got it but it does a great job.....


Cheers, Sean

so is the FX5 the way to go ?

i still cant make up my mind

both mate sorry ment to say if you wanted them im going to kevins soon so would do em for 80 if you wanted to collect them from there?

 

[mark34]

mmmm time to thick this over i think

just a bit worried as thinking what if its not just the lid seal that needs replacing

Don't want water all over my floor just how my mind works

lol ill get the seal but would have to add it to the cost if you wanted it think they are about 8 quid like i said dont need the fx5s as only needing to use the air driven system in the shed
