It sure is amazing that the water stayed clear when the pads look like this after you open it up lol. I really pushed the filter.

I should have cleaned it a 2 months ago but i didnt want too because all my turtles got moved outside yesterday and I didnt feel like cleaning it in freezing weather lol. So now my FX5 gets a couple months of rest ^_^

How long does it take you to clean the FX5?

I dont time myself but it takes a good while at least 30mins. Also since im no longer using it, everything sat out in the sun until everything was dry and packed back into the box. So it was an all day thing technically.

How often should you clean the FX5? I looked through the directions and couldn't find anything.

Posted: **Wed Apr 21, 2010 2:28 pm**

I clean mine about once every 3 months, give or take.
