    Confidently should be fine, no need to be defiant. Noone's telling you to definitely not get an FX5.

    Yeah i should have changed my words around. I have been reading some reviews and some comparisons about the fx5 VS the eheim 2080.

    No i am even more confused then before.

    Because i know now that the fx5 is more of a mechanical filtration rather than the eheim which is more biological.

    But the price of the 2080 is just way to crazy its just under 1k.

    How ever i do have an idea to increase the biological media in the fx5 but i will need to see the baskets to see if it will be a success or failure.

    Now i have also been considering sumping my new tank. As anyone got a sumped planted tank? I just want to know if it works well and how big the sump would have to be just to give me some ideas. I am assuming that it would be way cheaper than and external canister filter
