too much current.....

well i didnt think this was going to be a problem....but it is.....the middle of my tank is down to the egg crate....lol.....i have water making little tornados in the middle of my tank)....has anyone else ever had this problem? i am going to take the spray bars of my 2 fx5s and go back to those crappy dual outlets that came with it...the 2028 doesnt put out a big flow so i will stick with the spray on it...just thought this was funny...even with a 29in tall tank it is crazy looking....dem are 72x24x29...ps it looks really cool has kinda of a ocean fill with the way the water has created mounds and valleys but the xenos are having a problem swimming from one side of the tank to the other....they are some fit little fish permanet treadmill.....

Yeah......those dual outputs on the FX5 really serve a purpose . Without the dual outputs...you really get to see how much flow the FX5 puts out . I don't think there's no better combination on a six foot tank (for the money) than two FX5s' .

I just take off my spray bar. Try it. :)

i agree dave.....i used the two fx5s for biological and the 2028 for mechanical....seems good so far...

I use 4 eheim 2217 and one FX5 in a six foot 125 gallons tank. Still going to add another 2260 next week, and my petro love it.

i agree with a petro or troph tank mass current is great....but for the fish i am keeping just not the same needs....i want the crystal clear water just not all the current involved....ps if you dont have a a spray on your fx5 i would suggest doing it...you wont belive the diffrence...

There is also a big difference between narrow flow vs. wide flow when we are speaking strictly in terms of gph.

I think wide flow is much much better.

Tattoo you show direct all the flow toward the front of the tank... the fish are easier to look at when they're pinned against the front glass. :)

Could you see my discus all buffed up from swimmin in that current all day?.. more like all huddled up in the corner holdin' hands with their knees shakin'.
