It looks to be easier on the fx4 that I have. Here is the instructions for the fx6. Still looks you start by removing the 4 screws.

Have you tried removing and cleaning the impeller? It typically does not look dirty, but you will amazed at how much it will increase flow after it is cleaned. I now do that twice a year.

That is the same design that I used on my 75 gallon tank, just added another support in the middle. 1/8 inch Oak to cover 2x4’s. Plan was to make doors as well, but I have been lazy

Good to know I’m not the only one who can’t keep mollies alive. Three strikes I’m out, no more

Kees Aquirium in Shelby Twp & Anchor Bay Aquirium in New Baltimore or my 2 go to’s

Snail eggs?

I would also say no to the 3 spot. I have 2 in my 75 gallon and one has claimed the entire right side of tank as his. He is going to be rehomed to the display tank at my LFS. Beautiful fish. Pearl and Honey Gouramis are chill

I have to admit when I first saw the title I thought “The dog ate a container of bug bites”!

I have 3 SAE in my 75 gallon with 2 Bolivians, Clown Pleco & other fish. No issues with the rams or pleco.

Spent a lot of time picking out the perfect white to black ratio only for all of them to change to all black within months!

I have 2 Opalines I my 75 gallon. Beautiful fish, but I think the one in back will be going back to my LFS to live life in their show tank. He has determined that the entire right side of the tank is his and will chase everyone else away. The other one is a little more chill, but will still...

He was out a lot when I first got him and he was really cool to watch. Then I made a cave out of rocks & now he pretty much stays in there. Also don’t think he eats any algae. Don’t make a cave for him....

Same here, never any luck with Rubber Lip. I think it was a temp issue, perhaps 78-79 was too warm for them? Currently have Clown Pleco that I see maybe twice a month

Islandvic, do you find that the flow is reduced now that you made the changes? I did most of the changes proposed in the video (only put the new sponges in the top ring) and the flow is reduced. Seems to be more waste on the bottom substrate now. May go back and remove some of the media I placed...

Detroit area. Anchor Bay Aquarium & Kees are my go to LFS
