FX5 filter media
Just starting my first salt water aquarium and I'm going to stick with live rock and fish first. I have an FX5 and a 125 gal tank. What would you suggest for media in the 3 levels of this filter.
Thanks in advance |

How do you like that pos FX5?.....I'm returning mine....a totally pos....you wont be able to use any other air device (skimmers etc) in your tank........
check the fluval site....everyone is complaining about this $300.00 paperweight....and Hagen Customer Service don't care...... IMO. use Carbon, and LR rubble |
