Yep 210g tall. with mission or something like that stand and canopy.
I heard that the fx5 has a verry strong output and will make my water move to the point where I will have trouble keeping my plants down.

is 210$ fx5 on ebay a good price or is there a better place to get them?

 

[Bk718]

guess its good since normally they go for $250 + shipping now on big als (unless shipping is free)

DrVader or BK828 will I be able to control the outflow on one of these?? I heard that those beasts will make a huge current in my tank and mess with my plants?? Is this true?

Very simple, just wonderful looking !!!

The flow from an XP5 shouldn't be that big on a 210 gallon tank, don't worry about it.

the tank is long and you can always find ways to reduce the flow or even it out so its not just directed in one direction.
But as i sent to you in the pm and said earlier in this thread, you can go for 2 eheims, a 2250 and 2217. This way you can get even flow throughout the tank.

Ok, FX5 it is. Now how about recomended media for the planted tank ??? Just think I should by it all at once.
