so i noticed today after doing a water change that my fx5 has lost a lot of power / flow I can barely feel it come out when I put my hand a couple inches away from the output so I took apart the filter and clean the magnet and impeller and put it back together and still very low flow any suggestions bought the filter second hand I've had it for about a year
 
Did you clean the magnet holder slot? Sometime that holder is dirty and didn't interact with the impeller well, If all clean then I think the motor is giving up.
 
Maybe the mech filtration is clogged, could be an issue
 
alright i will go threw and clean hoses and filter tomorrow about how much are new motors?
