When I came home there was no electricity in my room only and I notice where I plug my fish tank there's no electricity so I pulle everything plug there so I check the C breaker and swicth it on again electricity was back but when I plug my FX5 there's no electric again I did it 2x until I decided not to use the FX 5 for now have you expirinced this?
 
You need to check if you have power to the outlet with the breaker on. You need a tester or you could use a working blow dryer, lamp, etc........If they all work then plug your FX5 into another outlet and check if it comes on.

everything is working on that outlet where the fx5 used to be plug when I plug the FX5 on another outlet the elctricity on that other outlet went out.
 
Sounds like the motor on the FX5 is shorted out. Don't plug it in again because if your circuit breaker fails to trip it can cause a fire.
 
i actually noticed this. when i unplug my fx5 or the power has tripped, it wont go back on right away. i literally have to wait an hour or two before it will start back up.

im guessing it may be some kind of crappy glitch in the computer it has. no biggie to me, since im lazy and it generally takes me over an hour to clean my 250g anyway, so i leave it of while cleaning.
