Trying to pick up an FX5 or similar large canister for my 125, but don't want to spend a ton if I don't have to. Is it worth it to buy a used canister, and what would I need to do to verify that the filter does work?
I'm worried more about draining the tank onto my floor more than anything, is there a way I could keep the filter from leaking, or at least stop it from spilling too much water? The obvious idea seems to be to place the input high up in the tank, but that's still a lot of water to potentially be spilled. Any suggestions on how to safeguard it as best I can?
