        I own both and the FX5 is a better mechanical filter...hands down. The Ehiem has no match biologically.

            "Taking the leap" only applies to sumps. 2260/2 and FX5/6 are just canisters... in the realm of timid steps.

              LOL, agreed whole heartily. Its actually a secondary filter in Suki's tank, so its already running a 2262. All it really has to beat is a 2217 and if it can't beat that its not the filter I thought it was... Now if I am correct a FX6 is basically a FX5 with media and a few non needed bells and whistles. I know the flow rates are listed differently, but I seem to recall the FX5 flowrate was based upon it not having media in it, so not actually as different in the actual end or am I incorrect?

                  I think this topic was settled last year. In July. Somebody bumped it up and the Eheim/FX5 pi$$ing contest resumes. Way to go...

                    LOL, I need the post count fool! It would be a 2262 and a FX5/6 for a 150 planted. Though the Fahaka does make quite the mess.
