Just joined. You've got some questions to answer over there now since I just got my fx5 today

 

[T1KARMANN]

just took this qute from your site make up your mind the fast flow rate on the FX5 is it a good thing or a bad thing

This modification is good for a few things.
1. ) Increase bio media capacity. Possibly around 9-13L
(Depends on mechanical filtration and Chemical filtration volume)
2. ) Decrease flow velocity through mechanical and bio media for better filtration
3. ) Large cross section surface for flow which decreases the restriction due to media becoming dirty.
5. ) Cleaning will be even easier and you won't need to disturb the biological media at all.
6. ) Eliminate about 5 possible warn o-ring issues
7. ) Original Foam blocks don't seal as nice as I would have liked to the basket above.
8. ) Increase the time between change intervals.
9. ) Due to the decrease in flow resistance, hopefully this will help with the cavitations problem in the Fx5

Answered your question in the other Thread. This is all explained on the site. I know you are a little incompetent and its hard to understand facts but you may want to go to the other thread and read the site a bit more.

I dont understand how people could possibly bash the fx5. For $200 it's a great filter, especially for the output. Why does it have to be an argument over which is best. Personally, I think it's just an argument over 1st and 2nd. It also seems to be the European guys bashing the fx5. Although, there was someone from Norwalk, UK that loves the FX5. T1Karmenn, you sound like a TROLL. Why do you find it necessary to troll around threads, stiring up trouble? If you want to argue with him about the fx5 do it over on the 2260 vs. fx5, this thread was set up to let people know about the procedure sight.
