FX5 vs Pro Clear 125 wet dry

Are you a snake oil salesman?

I say something wrong?

Opposite of what you said. Mechanical means it collects a lot of poop and larger particles, hence having an overflow that allows larger particles. Canisters work slower, producing healthier biological levels, but because they are so good at it, they can become higher in nitrates.

Not trying to sound like a smart*** but don't canisters become higher in nitrates BC they are good at catching/filtering out poo and larger particles? Once trapped in the canister if its not cleaned out on a regular basis that's when you see an increase in nitrates or so I thought.

When I get home this evening, I'll red line some peculiar things you said in the post you made right after nightster.

Use what you have... or whatever will make you life easier to do maintenance.

Oh Sunny. Chris forget what I said. I guess I'm wrong on this.

[moganman]

I was wrong. I had it backwards. The best biological filtration occurs in the wet dry filter because the water is exposed to both air and water.

Smh. Hahaha

I say just the fx5. It's better at polishing water than the WD and it does basically what the wet dry does or even better since its a small tank it will remove debris/ particles out of the water better than a WD

I say FX5. I know a guy with a single FX5 on a 210 with wild caught yellow moshi and red rainbow. Not what I prefer but obviously it works for him.

My vote goes for the wet/dry. But since you already have a FX5, why not just go with that? Both are already going to overfilter a 40B regardless of what you decide.

IMHO, Just use what you have.
FX5 will be plenty good and the flow will be ok for the Malawi.
You can always adjust the flow of the FX5 due to the "valve" it has on it.

In addition, if you happen to have a mag 3 or 5, the impeller for the mag 7 fits the mag 3 or 5.
Then you will have a mag 7.
no need to spend money unless you really want a wet dry then you can trade someone for the FX5.
Goodluck.
