Loaches Online Forum

Has anyone had any experience with this filter? (Fluval FX5)

I'm planning on getting 2 - 265 gallon tanks in the next year for clown loaches and other loaches... (I currently have a 220, 125 and a 55 gallon tank)....

Just wondering if anyone has a feel for this filter or not.

I have just actually bought my first external filter - a Fluval 305. Managed to pick it up for around 70 pounds. Really easy to install and run. Seems to have a very good flow rate. I will have to wait and see how the filtration actually works. It does look very easy to maintain with it's stop valve system. I would also be interested to hear people's opinions on these filters. I think mine is supposed to be big enough for up to 300 litres and mine is around 250.

I like mine, water is nice and clear and has lots of capacity for media
