Eheim pro, pro2, pro 3! dont get fluval all to fineky and pretty much waste of time. Although in the external i would only keep LR, phosphate remover and any other specialist media. Dont use ceramic ings or other things in carbon they become nitrate farms.

although the ehime range is known as the best i would not say that the fluval fx5 is a bad filter . and for he money you can' beat it , sorry . but as said the Eheim are very good, and if you can push to one then go for it . i myself have been looking at a wet/dry 2229 . these help to reduce he amount of nitrate. but still no as good as live rock.
