FX5 Intake - want to change

[selki]

if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it.

+1 There's no purpose of an analogy in this thread. No sense fix something that was built to work efficiently.

If you can practically make improvements... you'd be silly not to...



There is a difference in attmepting to restore something that works efficiently, back to it's original condition... which is when that common term is properly used...

But when people use that term to discourage advancement they are discouraging progression...

What if Stone Age people thoroughly embraced that kind of thinking...

Did the OP state that he is trying to restore a broken piece of the filter? From what I recall, he stated that it doesn't LOOK appealing.. so your first statement has no relevance to this thread.

3/4" strainer from BigAls

Thanks a lot...How much did it cost? Is it just a regular 3/4" strainer or some pet brand name?

I just hate when bits of market prawns get stuck behind the strainer...
Also, my turtle chew on the strainer and makes the hole even bigger lol

It's his FX5. He's not trying to come into your house and modify your FX5... It's his property! What a weird thread.

Just 3/4" stariner...they have at back counter by the plumbing.....$1 or $2....and it just slides into the piece that attaches the hose to the tubing on the filter.....

Yah, it was p'ing me off too.....the pieces of food that fall behind the original filter intake!and fish can't get at.
