Unboxing the fx6

[fishhead0103666]

When did you get yours? It may be an added feature they gave to newer models

Is it normal for my fx6 to make a noise? It’s kind of a click but also sounds like it involves air if that makes sense. Sometimes it sounds a bit like small rocks gently hitting plastic but in water.

Should be silent bro. If anything try gut it out & see if it still clicks.. once it spits out the 1st 30 seconds it'll auto shut for another 30 seconds while it balances itself out then in less than a minute it'll run but shouldn't hear a sound. If it's still doing it just swap it back for a different one g'luck.

I got mine up and running, but now I’ve got the microbubble problem... i did run custom tubing.. i will silicon all the fittings tonight.. i hope that fixes it

 

[fishhead0103666]

Mine stopped running . I think it’s because of the position or because of the fact I misread the instructions and tried to take off the little box on the side then rescrewed it. It also leaked twice so yeah...

The "over the tank frame hose holders" were a ***** to clip onto my 180

That why i made my own lot better flow than in those cheap ribbed hoses that some with it.. it blew out some of my plants

I broke that off of the outtake tube because I couldn’t get it to go on

I use a dremel to trim it.
