Issue With Fluval Cannister Filters
I do not like the performance of my Fluval FX5 for my 220g. cichlid community tank. My recent modification to the filter is replacing the corrugated tubing used for the feed and return plumbing with smooth food-grade plastic tubing. So far it seems to have helped. I would have to remove both sets of tubing at twice a month and spend a while cleaning the chunks of debris that became caught inside the corrugated areas of the tubes. Also, any fluctuation or turning on or off of the pump sent a nice unhealthy blast of debris from the corrugated tubes all of the aquarium.
