Very nice! I bet I haven't cleaned my Marineland canisters in 7 or 8 years! Why? Because the weight of the tank, well over a ton, has compressed the frame down onto the doors that give me access to said canisters. Now they don't open. The FX6 that I attached 5 years ago has been cleaned 3 times, tops.
Love my Fx4! If you have a garden or flower bed, dump that muck in it, my vegetables went freakin' crazy after i started dumping my water changes on them lol. Satisfying video!
I just put a canister filter on my 55 gallon. I’m installing another on my 60 gallon tomorrow. These are my first canister filters. A lady gave me these. I’m excited to get rid of the hang on backs.
Got 2 FX6 in my fishroom and they have been awesome. I've only needed to clean them up about once a year fortunately. Wish I could afford more of them. 😅
BBA growing is definitely a sign of filter needing to be dealt with. I take a firm bristle brush to the spray bar to attempt to clean it. It's a pain. Nice work!!!
I go with the flow as well Stephen…I wish more people would see the benefits of running a pre filter….i mean your filter was full but not totally compacted black goo…but tips or brain farts and hard to believe I guess coming from a person that calls himself a window licker..lol…that’s there problem 😎👍
Nice one 👍
SNAILED IT 🐌 ❤
Always a good day when there’s a new StephenP video!!!
Cheers from my fish room in Chicago! I don't know why but it was oddly satisfying watching you clean your filters :)
Thanks for the reminder that I need to clean my fx6 and 407 filters also!
Great Video! Happy New Year Stephen! 🍾💥
Cool! I do it about every 4-6 months or when Im moving stuff. Love the Fluvals! Nice video!

And yeah, nitrates are high, but it's compounded by the fact that my nitrates come out of the well at stupid high levels.
Schrodinger's canister! If you can't see it, it's out of your hands anyway!
Now there is an outro I can support!
Get out of my house!!! Lol I'm cleaning my filters right meow!!! 😂🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Now I'm glaring at our 307, because I know I should be maintaining/cleaning it better.
And that counts as friendly neighorly lawn fertilizing.

Next, come do the annual cleaning on my 55 canister, lol. Good luck getting it out of the cabinet😂🤦🏼♀️
Dude I haven't cleaned my sponge filters in bit I should probably do that. Man does time fly.

wow i never seen the inside of an fx6, that is a really nice setup.
Makes me feel better about cleaning my fx4 once a year 😄
Not bad for a yearly cleaning!

They are definitely a workhorse!

I can't go more than six months! If I were a better person, I'd do every three!
50% handle rate. What a novel concept.
