my fx5 filter after six months

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
That's pretty bad. I did mine about every 3 months and thought that was bad. Maybe even try once a month or two... doesn't hurt.
 
i dont fancy opening it up every month.maybe every 2 or 3.but no way im i leaving it 6 months lol.it was ok for that long when they were babys but not now.do you guys think thats why my nitrate went up to 50ppm ?
 
yeah thats what i was thinking.never going to let it get that dirty again.my fish grow alot in them 6 months.bigger the fish bigger the poo lol
 
Wow! Your flow had to be terrible!

I agree flow must have dropped off but it does say a lot for the performance of the fx5. In my opinion it is the best filter fluval make practically fool proof.
I hate to say it but I have been guilty of the same thing we need to find a way to slow down time. Sonds like you have some nice fish what size tank are you thinking of up grading to.
 
The key is to run a sump/wet dry with the fx5. I haven't touch my fx5S in over a year in all my tanks.
