I know this is unconventional but I am actually thinking of moving from my fx5 to 2 aquarclear 110s or 2 emperor 400s. My setup is a 75gal w/10in rhom. The FX5 is great from a filtration stand point but it is such a pain to open and clean. I also feed my rhom once a week and he poops a ton. The blue filter pad just clogs so quickly. Thoughts on moving from just an ease of maintenance?
I just dont want to be opening up the cannister every month. It also pisses me off how the fasteners that hold the lid keep cracking. I was thinking of adding a aquaclear for pure mechanical but thought the FX5 would still get loaded with poop.
