cheapest place for a fluval fx5 ?

I've found the FX5 for $380 + shipping.

Can anyone advise if they have seen it cheaper ?

I'm located in melbourne.

Thanks

huge tip, give it a go if you have the money, dont give it a go if you dont have the money.

like most things, its all about experiment in aquariums which leads to experience.
well, theres always advice!

try coburg aquariam.

they are very pricey but for some reason the fluvols sell cheap on occasioins

[Proteus]

They used to be cheap, prior to 2-3 price increases by the supplier, add to that the many problems with the earlier models, and a recall... I will let that speak for itself.

The most recent FX5 model is meant to be good, but it is getting close to the same price as an Eheim Pro III 2080... If you do find one cheap, make sure it isnt one of the older ones (with the controller chip problem).

Like anything, do some research and you should do fine, dont think by getting one cheap will mean you have saved some cash...

IT appears fluvols are still fluvols!

ehiem any day
