I recently purchased a used Fx5 and thought I had it completed but after looking at the users manual I see foam along the outside of all the baskets. I have been searching online to purchase them but cannot seem to find them? Does anyone know the exact name? Also I want to know if my media is setup properly? Mind you I'm just using the Fx5 for filtration. On the top basket I have Eheim Substrat, and on the bottom two I have the Fluval pre filter media. Sorry I'm quite new to cannister filters, Thanks in advance.
Fx5: the foam along the outside of baskets?

They are just filter pads google them and will be easy to find . I think they are the main part needed and should have come with filter
all that is is pre-filter media, just use a piece of filter pad in the top basket and use bio-media of your choice in the middle and bottom, the water normally flows through the foam on the sides and then through the top, middle, then bottom and back into the tank

They actually hold a lot of bio media. I made the mistake of ringing mine out clean once, and it whacked out my tank for a couple days..
To the op, that sucks you didn't get that.. I looked in my manual and it doesn't show those in the replacement parts.. Fluval's customer service number is 1-800-724-2436 between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. eastern.
