Hi all!
currently I'm waiting to collect my 5x2x2 and gotten an FX-5 from bro riise Since it's the same topic please don't mind me hijacking! I'm going to use just the FX-5 for my tank and will monitor and will probably add another smaller cannister filter if there's a need. Read that the difference between the biohome and biohome+ is that biohome+ have nutrients so the bacteria grows faster. ie, less cycling time? Can anyone verify that please I plan to add ceramic rings into 1 tray, coral chips + biohome into another tray while the most bottom tray I'll put activated carbon. Do you all think it'll work? Each tray i will most likely cover the top with a cut-to-fit japanese mat.. Forgot to add, my fauna would be ITs, bichirs, 1 x L190, an aro and other predatory fishes. WC should be 15% every 3 days as i use the water to water my plants at home . Pls advice thks! |

I know u dun like the unsightly looks. Also for OHF, I feel that Mr Aqua CR & bacteria house is good enough. Actually Mr Aqua CR works well in canister too. |

sump tank of co better but diy piping might not be easy unless the tank comes with sump tank system
cannister i dun like coz limited space for medias & oso quite hassle when doing cleaning, oso it has danger of leakage after sometimes i would prefer ohf, can put lots of tray so long bracing able to support it, easy maintenance as well |

Currently I use OHF for all my tank easy to maintain if anything happen all the water still in the tank . If u go on holiday no worry of water evaporate or power failure but buy ACDC air pump on standby . But for media I use BioHome plus , Mr Aqua and Momotaro plus coral chip.
