Running this for about a week on my 140 gallon tank. No problems so far, and easy setup. Strong output, not too much different from the FX5.

Installed this filter yesterday on my 120 gallon heavily stocked salt water, after a much needed 70% water change to replace my two Fluval AquaClear 110's. So first things first; the unit was relatively easy to assemble and install, although the hosing clips did present a bit of a struggle, and had to be "manhandled" to fit over the frame, the hosing itself was rather stubborn as well, though, thankfully, there was plenty of it. Followed instructions to the t, plugged the unit in after priming it, it did its thing, turning off after filling to expell any trapped air, and has been running ( extremely quietly) since. Now with the two 150 gallon seaclone skimmers I have on the tank (which kick ass by the way), I would have expected my tank to clear overnight, but that did not happen, we are now in day 2, and the water is still cloudy (the kind of cloudy that you can tell is on the verge of clearing but not quite there yet), granted I did clean out both of the skimmers completely yesterday as well and they are now in proccess of "breaking in". Still I have to admit I expected more, so I tested my water parameters, and nothing too amazing there either: .25ppm ammonia, 0 nitrite, 20ppm nitrate, which isn't bad considering I cleaned out the entire sandbed, stirring up some unsavory debris, and scrubbed all the ornaments, still with the top of the line brand new canister rated for up to 400 gallons, I have to say I had expected much more. Final line is I've had similar if not identical performance from my two Fluval AquaClear 110's, perhaps better, that have previously cleared murky water after a big water change overnight. Not too impressed.
