Fluval FX5

Hi.

As per my intro I have a 210 gallon aquarium in my room and I am tired of having to clean/change four filters. Would a Fluval FX5 be an adequate filter to put on my tank by itself?

I know the filter is rated for ~400 gallons or so. But would it circulate the water in my tank enough?

Pretty positive it would. I have a Fluval 305 on my 40 gallon, it is suggested for 70 gallons and definitely circulates the water enough. Having one for more gallons than the tank, is the way to go in my opinion because once it's stalked and fully loaded it ends up equaling out, so I'd imagine the only question would be what your stocking was, but I can't imagine that you'd be so overstocked that you could make that 210 gal, turn into an equivalent of 400 gal. :]

Then the FX5 is my next aquarium purchase.

So now I need to sell the filters I have on my tank now.
