Ok this is making me crazy.. i just took apart my FX5 but im having a really hard time getting the things off the tank that hold the hoses on the tank. Is there an easy way to get those things off that im just missing?? I feel like no matter what i try im going to break them..

No need for a screwdriver. Just manhandle them. They'll come off. My tank has a 2" lip and that is a SERIOUS pita to get the clips over.

Moved to setup and filtration.

I agree they do not come off easily. Though I haven't broken one yet
