I want a new filter because I don`t like what I am using now. Tax time is here so I want to splerge on the Fluval fx5. Is that all I will need in my 120gal.US tank?

i would think so, that is a massive filter with a much higher rating than 120g.

the fx5 is a massive filter, but its really nice. I got one last week and i love it already! its really quiet and is easy to assamble. The parts are high quality. i love it so much i got another one and its on its way, hehe! i know its abit of over kill for a 150g, but i'll b ready to upgrade my tank in the future.

Oh and if u do get the fx5, get it online. i got my on ebay for 224 with shipping

I have an FX5 in a 125 gallon it is more than enough!

More than enough for 120g. its rated to 400g. you will be very happy with the long maintenance between cleaning. but check the size will fit under your tank cabinet. its a big filter. Isn't it nicki wasn't it you that thought someone made a mistake and sent a washing machine joking but it is large.

Yep Marcus, that was me... that damn filter looked HUGE!!! no way was it going to fit in my cabinet... but it sits next to the tank nicely! LOL

more than enough filtration its rated for over 400 g!
