Not really, you really don't see particles floating around. I'm running an FX5 on my 125g with a polishing pad so it traps a lot. Also WC's with spot cleaning weekly.I clean mine every week... You must have a good amount of waste if it's clogging up fast.

I run 2 fx5s (mostly media)and two giant hydro sponges and do a 70% water change on my 180gal a week and still got to clean them. They just catch a lot of stuff. Mine are packed every time I clean them. To me yours clogging sounds normal but also says it's working.Not really, you really don't see particles floating around.

I think you are referring to the sponge clogging, my issue is the nozzle that attaches to the airline clogs and must be cleaned out with a paper clip. The sponge itself isn't clogged when this happens.I run 2 fx5s (mostly media)and two giant hydro sponges and do a 70% water change on my 180gal a week and still got to clean them.
