I hated those damn fx filters.

Man junk that thing and get a 2262 or a few ac110s. Ac's would be cheaper, easier to clean and more room for bio
 
I have had the same issue with my magnum 350 canister. It could be a tiny leak somewhere along in in hose to the canister. This a big part of why I only have a canister because I can't squeeze anything else into the space I have. HOBs and sponges are so much easier to deal with and spill less water on the floor.

Send them to me lol. I love my Fx's. I have three of them right now and wouldn't trade them for anything ;)

Hah! I wish there was less distance between us so I could bring it by and have you check it out.
@jaws7777 'll look into a 2262.I have replaced my FX with a beat up Aquaclear 110 for the time being.
 
The only canister I will use is XP's. I've never had a 2262, but I'm at the point now where if it's not a sump or ac hob I don't want it.
 
I'm always surprised at the FX hate. That's all I've used for years with zero problems lol. I've got one FX5 that's been running nonstop for a decade.

Luck of the draw I guess

I am also of the opinion that sumps are best for big tanks
I have them on both of my biggest tanks but I've always used another type of filter as an aid since I have numerous large growing fish.
Is this the XP you were referring to?

2262 is costly though but its a beast man way more flow than the fx. I like the ac's soo easy to maintain and are relatively cheap.

Totally agree. Sump or ac. I'll never own a canister again in my life. If i had to the 2262 would be the one.
