Fluval Issues? Your chance to be heard!!

Only problem i have ever had with my fluval 305 is the seal was leaking. I put some Vaseline on the gasket and haven't had a problem since. Knock on wood. and it was about 3 years ago

I posted on this before. I had a wee temper tantrum with one of my fluvals. I hate them. All the 204,304, and 404 garbage.
I had a 304 and two 404's on my tank. Every time I cleaned them out I wanted to throw them out the window. Something would ALWAYS break. Just because of the brittle plastic. The impeller cover clips would snap off, the hose clamps wouldn't work or would break and the things would NEVER CLOSE all the way.

One day a few months back I hit the breaking point...........literally.:irked:

See the picture? That was after 3 failed attempts to get it to seal and after breaking a clip to the impeller housing. I think I might have had a small aneurism. :screwy:


Now I have a FX5.. Still Fluval I know.. but this one SO FAR is great.

You guys are all off topic, supposed to be posting about why you dislike your Fluval products. The majority of posters seem satisfied though. Lotta love for the FX5 on this thread, though completely understandable.:grinno:
 
I bought a brand new 404 when it came out years ago. I found that it leaked and that really set me mad on fluval. Recently I purchased another fluval, 406 this time and it works great with no issues. I bought 5 ehiems in between, 2 of which I still have. lol

I also had an fx5 at one time. I found it to heavy to move while full.
