okay so im pretty sure im going to buy the fx5 but... quite frankly there is a shit load of media to put into it, from what i see on marinedepot.com there is:
polishing pad
carbon filter media
biomax ceramic rings
pre-filter media
ammonia remover
zeo-carb filter media
lab serier opti- carb media
i have talked to someone about it but i dont really remember who.. hum... anyway i know what you use depends on what you want to acheive for the aquarium but ugh where do i start????

K.I.S.S - - - start wth carbon, ceramic rings {i use ehiem mech} and some form of a sponge - - thats all i have in my tank filtration, lots of movement on the live rock from powerheads and I avoid any chemicals and "miracle" treatments at all costs...............that works for me, others use different methods that work well for them

kiss = keep it simple stupid, just in case you didn't know, lol i wasn't trying to pick you up .....LMAO

haha I did it.....oops. But boss pretty much said it, keep it simple carbon....and if you can run smaller bags of carbon or replace small amounts at a time so they dont just remove ALL of your iodine and other trace elements. Carbon is great stuff, but you have to use it in moderation. Sponges are great too, just clean them out and re use. :) But seariously....what kinda car. :)
