    Is it just deceiving or is the fx6 about the size of a small shop vac. Looks huge

I'm worried the 3/4 might be choking it off a bit. I went with 1/4" holes so the water would not spray as hard. The end closet to the output hose still sprays pretty strong though.
    Hi there, do you have a picture of the spray bar you made?

    Does anyone have problems with the FX series leaking? I had a Fluval 406 and gave up on it after six month of struggling with leakage.

    At my age, everything is irritating.

    I have three FX5 and an FX6 and I’ve never had a leak. Just make sure the initial setup is secure with the provided hose clamps and always make sure the lid is screwed down well and the outlets are fully seated.
