new FX5.. WOAH!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
It's a 36 watt turbo twist 12x. Doesn't seem to slow down the flow of the fx5 at all. Awesome tank by the way. I can't get a whole tank shot of mine with the cabinet open without moving the dining room table out of the way. Way too much work! Haha!

Here's a pic of my fx5 and uv sterilizer. I love how you can use it to do speedy water changes. I just run a hose around the corner to the bathroom and into the bathtub to drain. I put a quick connect on the bathroom faucet and run a hose to the tank to fill it back up. I'll be getting another fx5 really soon:naughty:

:O ingenious! i must do this..great idea!:thumbsup::thumbsup:
 
I just got an fx5 lastnite and set it up. I woke up this morning and there was water all over my floor. It seems that it is coming out of the "outtake" side around the orange flow control knob. Anyone ever have this happen??
 
May not have been "clipped" in. Remove the valve and put it back on with slight twists. If you can pull it off without pushing the release button, than its not seated correctly.
 
Wait...trimming the hose to fit on the valve? You have the hoses backwards if this is the case. The ends with the rubber fittings need to go on the valves.

I picked up a used Fx5 filter and the owner had the hoses on backwards.
 
the fx5 I got was used also. I think from the transportation the hose got squished so I took the little metal clamp off and pulled the vacuum like hose off of the valve and cut about two inches off so there was fresh hose and shoved it back on the valve and now theres no leaking!
 
Do you not have the ribbed hose?
